People don’t know my loneliness
They cannot see the darkness
That pains my heart
Everyday
I try to smile like it’s okay
But it’s not
I am not.
I am lost
I am broken.
There are places in my heart
That hurt too much
When touched,
Places where memories of old
Run deep
Memories that weep
When I cannot.
And people do not know.
They know not
For they see not.
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
