Hi everyone, I hope you’re all well! I’m sharing a poem with you today and I hope you enjoy it!
Self Portrait
Born of scars and bruises
Held and comforted by the night
Rushing toward oblivion
While remaining out of sight
Raised in swirling chaos
Sleepless, angry and depressed
Squirrelled away from daylight
And in dire need of rest
Living through each moment
Like there’s treacle on my shoes
Never forming an opinion
Never offering any views
Existing on tears and torment
And begging for a shift
Waiting for it all to change
For the cloud to finally lift
And suddenly, now thriving
A future stretching out in fore
The darkness that held tightly
Is barely seen anymore
Seeing things more clearly
Making strides in every way
Appreciating living – loving
And being here today
As always, thanks for spending your time with my words – and I know I say this every week, but it really does mean a lot!
Until next time,
George
