It is me!!

Not a person, nor a Thing or a place.

Just call me Within.

Verse 1

When life hits me hard, what am I to do?

When my morning seems to appear dark, where could I find light?

All by myself, I soak in the loneliness within!

Like a magnet that loses its gravity, I dive around with no collection.

Sadness is an understatement to what my heart feels.

Verse 2

Do you know this feeling I ask?

I feel scared but I am not scared.

I cry but no tears.

I am broken but look fixed.

I smile with a broken heart 💔.

I close my eyes to sleep but my mind wanders.

Even with a voice I fail to speak 🗣️—so I stay voiceless.

Alone, by myself, and just me is a poem my reality sings 🎶 to me.

Do you know this feeling I ask ❓

Verse 3

You are stronger? Am I really?

It is gonna be okay? When?

As long as there is life there is hope—what about the hope of an ending life?

All that engulfs me is an exhausting pathway of never-ending toiling.

Yes, I am appreciative and grateful for the things around me.

Fractions of me are being cut off to either keep or sustain things that I should be grateful for.

Do you know this feeling I ask ⁉️

Verse 4

Life never seems to go as planned.

It is like holding on to a rope that is set to break.

One will eventually fall.

Every step forward feels like walking on shifting sands.

Dreams built with care, crumble like fragile castles.

Expectations clash with harsh realities.

Promises made, often left unfulfilled.

In the pursuit of happiness, we encounter endless trials.

Is there a way to mend these broken paths?

Verse 5

In the quiet, I search for answers.

Yet, silence echoes louder than any voice.

My thoughts, a whirlwind, spinning me around.

Lost in a maze, each turn a dead end.

Is there a path to peace within?

Verse 6

Tears unshed, a weight on my chest.

A heart burdened, beating in distress.

Dreams seem distant, just out of reach.

Hopes, like sand, slipping through my fingers.

Is there a balm to soothe my aching soul?

Verse 7

In the night, shadows whisper fears.

I wrestle with doubts that won't disappear.

Strength, they say, lies within.

But what if within is where my battles begin?

Is there a light to guide me through this storm?

Verse 8

Moments of joy feel fleeting, ephemeral.

Gratitude mingles with a persistent sorrow.

Every step forward feels a mile back.

Trudging through this life, a heavy pack.

Is there a way to lighten this burden?

Verse 9

Voices of love, though distant, call.

Reminders that I'm not alone after all.

A spark of hope, a flicker in the dark.

Perhaps within, there lies a hidden mark.

Is there a strength I've yet to uncover?

Verse 10

Within you, I find a seed of resilience.

A whisper of faith amidst the silence.

Though weary, I rise, step by step.

Embracing the journey, the tears I've wept.

For within you, there lies an unyielding light.

Maybe not!

It is me!!

Not a person, nor a Thing or a place.

Just call me Within.
