No Lack of Trying

emotional distress

By Jessica TaylorPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Last night pondered

I hoped and I wondered

In and out of thoughts

Of all the lessons I've been taught.

I've walked paths of mind

Searching as if to find

Comfort in every night

To hide my tears and my fight.

Alas, comfort did not come

Every scenario had been run

So many things left for me to do

Dreams of my heart must come true.

I will no longer stand

To let everyone tell me where to land

Moments happen too far and too few

It's time for me to start anew.

Re-visit, re-think, re-do and re-align

Somehow I must find the sign

I am so tired of sadness and rage

It's time to relase myself from my cage!

My deepest desire is to be able to help people; since I am too shy to be a professional speaker I decided that writing is my next best option. However, I do love the feel of the pen upon the page and the clicking of my keys on my keyboard.
