The Burden On My Heart Poem by Beena Jal
The Burden On My Heart
my heart is so heavy
my way hopelessly foggy
my smile; so shallow
my hopes; so hollow
my happiness incomplete
my dreams, not so sweet
my days not so jolly
for me, i feel sorry
even my tears are dry
how long can one cry?
after all this pain
what have i really gained?
i tried my very best
put all my abilities to test
'sorrow cant defeat me'
'successful, i will be'
hah! what a childish thought
my joy will have to rot
no matter what i do
i, myself am a prisoner too
truly happy I'll never be
don't be deceived by a smiling me
my world is sinking fast
i don't know how long I'll last
my heart is dying within
no one seems to notice it
maybe i'm too sensitive
this is how everyone lives
i try to run, to hide
open my mouth, smile wide
life is good, i say
my feelings, i never betray
huh! is that what i feel
on my heart's deepest seal
if i ever sit and think
my heart starts to sink
i try to hide from me
try to bury my own plee
ah - my heart is dying slowly
if others would understand it only!
Somehow, this poem reminds me a poem I wrote before 'Yesterday'. Anyway, life can be really exhausting sometimes. But it's all depend on ourselves to change it and maybe to make it a bit better. I like the expressions in it. The words just flowing out nicely.. Keep it up ya! ! ^-^
A pure poem, well composed! ! but i like it because..... it explains something lively, breathing, ... the LIFE, and it is not about the DEATH! good work Friend! 10..
Dear Poet, You are in love devastatingly and feel lone. You need an hand on your shoulder to console you, take it me to and feel reconciled ever? Never mind poet, you are in love to whom is required pats? Be careful of your age and growing love?
Oh my! You reminded me of what I went through. A touching piece.
