I'Ll Flourish Poem by kerri cummings

Wear a mask, a cheerful face.
Hide how you feel, you're a disgrace.
Let the ones you love believe the lies,
while you desperately try to dry your eyes.
Ignore how you feel, say its not real.
Knowing you're alone, always being outshone.
Waiting for that day, in a dark eternity,
feeling nothing but the hurt and agony.
Quickly everytime, growing antsy
always waiting for the thing to end uncertainty
continue living, feeling incomplet,
with my heart always a little off beat.
My mind and soul disconnected.
So I'll stay for awhile, feeling unfinished
and hide those dreams I've always cherished
I know I can survive feeling anguished
and when it's finished I know I'll flourish.
