Whispers In The Night Poem by Joline Gordon

Whispers in the the night
Are so faint I can't hear
I know they are for me
But the words are unclear
Who could be out there?
And what do they want with me?
Is there something I should know
But am not able to see?
They seem to know my secrets
That remain unspoken
My deepest fears and thoughts
And how I feel broken
I can't make them stop
And they won't go away
So I sit and I listen
In hopes to hear what they say
While I'm here alone
Something lingers in my mind
Why does happiness seem so far away
Or difficult to find?
I do experience occasional laughter
And moments of content
Never have I felt completely blissful
In all my years I've spent
I know I am not the only one
To ever feel like this
My childhood days that were free from worry
I often miss
In my younger years
All I wanted was to be grown
Precious moments wasted
If only I had known
I don't know what to do
And nothing is in sight
So I sit here and I listen
To the whispers in the night.
