PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I don't get even, I don't get mad
I may never tell, but sometimes I'm truly sad.
Always hid it with a painted smile,
No one ever noticed because they never stayed awhile.
There's no reason to burden someone,
With my petty problems, or the things I've done.
I'll run so fast I can overcome
But what if I've been outrun?
I never knew who I truly was,
But now that I know, will it ever be enough?
I had always let others define me,
But now the truth I can clearly see.
I was no one but a cheap illusion,
Of the world, the darkness made an intrusion.
But now my heart I've taken back,
Never again to be stolen never again will I lack.
The things I thought I needed to get me by
Were nothing more than false truths, nothing more than lies.
I've let them go with a bittersweet goodbye.
And I've made a move on with my life.
I know someday I will find my destiny,
Somewhere out there within the light.
Not between the lines of wrong and right,
Because deep down I know the truth is black and white.
I will be destined for something new,
Something real and something true.
What it will be, I'm still unsure
But everyday my eyes are opened a little more.
I don't know why things are this way,
But I know tomorrow is forever a new day.
