poem written: 8/29/2018
The same things every day
You are tired of the drudgery
And of all of the hurt and pain
Hoping that you still stay sane
To the world you wear a smile
But inside your heart is breaking
From all the agony and guile
Of the people surrounding you
You ache for something true and real
You want an end to all this pain
You want to taste joy and love
You want peace from up above
I will hold your hurting soul
When you feel broken inside
I will heal your hurt and pain
So again you can be whole
I will give you all of my love
I will sacrifice myself for you
So you will know true, real joy
And the peace from up above

I wish I knew how to write music, but great idea! Maybe I should put a couple of my poems to music. It’s a great idea. 🙂
