As I sit in front of my mirror
To watch my face in blue
The sadness in my eyes
Tortures with painful truth
Pain and sorrow strike along
All over my gloomy whole
However can I take myself
Into memories to console?
Please let me find fond memories
In daydreams of today,
Shoulder of the weeping me
Guides me along my way
Please don't take me ever
Back to yesterday
To torments of acid images
Racked of inner fray
Don't you know my fears?
To face the anguish in me
It hides behind a threshold
I still can't set her free
I can't cherish my youth
The innocence of childhood
Because it was abused
No memories found to soothe
So please hear my plea,
Printed with bitter tears
Shed because of yesterday.
Every day we create
Every day we create memories for ourselves. Make every day count and create those memories with care, I'm sure all will be happier for you. Well written poem and a good read.
