Falling

This poem I am sharing with you is one of the first I ever wrote. A couple of the poems i will be sharing with you tells of my struggle to keep what i am truly feeling inside and what others may or may not see. I struggle with who I am, I struggle with the fact i don't know who i am. I search for her, the woman i know is there, sometimes i see her and often she eludes me.

Falling

A firm structure

Easily crumbles to dust

A heart filled with joy

A soul full of sorrow

A mind filled with sweet memories

A conscience full of guilt

A being surrounded by love

Yet alone each day

A smiling joyful face

A storm of anger inside

A voice ringing with laughter

A silent prayer of pleading

Hands full of care and gentleness

Tight with loathing and hardness

Eyes sparkling with happiness

Fighting back waves of tears

Once a firm strong structure

Crumbling to dust
