Words Of A Broken Heart Poem by Michelle Hyde

Like a sunset in fall I fade into the shadows.
Quietly, unnoticed, invisible.
Softly I weep as I accept the cruel, cold, and uncaring fate that life has given me.
Why do I continue to hope for something better?
Why do I try to belong where I know I shall never fit?
Though I face the pain of loneliness; I do not show it.
Is it pride that makes me bear this burden alone?
No, not pride; merely something else that acts in prides place.
But what?
I fear I will never know.
