A Look of Joy by ThePoetic1


A Look of Joy

The sun is setting
In the western sky
Another day over
Another day gone by

The sky is dark blue
The stars forever shine
As I ponder my future
And what I hope to find

I cannot escape the sadness
That overcomes me
I cannot run from my problems
That seems to always keep me - down
I can only pray that I have the strength
I can only hope to carry on
I only wish I had a hand to hold
Whisper “that you love me” for it is beautiful - sound

The silence is deafening
As I sit here alone
My heart feels heavy in my chest
Like a solid stone

A cool breeze blows through my window
It gives me an icy, cold chill
I know I have the ability to succeed
I know I have the strength and the will

The darkness of the evening
Surrounds me and creates a black mist
Loneliness envelopes me like a warm embrace
But I want and yearn for loving arms to hold – me
I fantasize about being a mighty giant
I wish that I were a mighty jet plane
I fantasize about flying away to a land
Where I can run through the valleys and be – free

I stand outside my balcony
I gaze at the stars above
I yearn for the comfort of a friend
I ache to be appreciated and loved

The night air smells sweet
I can hear the rustling of the leaves
As the moonlight shines upon me
I feel strong and I want to believe

As time goes by the pain of the past
Seems to disappear like a fading wind
All my sins seem to wash away
Washed away by the falling – rain
I think of a time when I was loved
By a woman who shared my dreams and hopes
And I sometimes wonder
If I’ll ever feel that love and hope – again

The heart is a fragile thing
As it beats every second in your chest
Though it is a strong and relentless muscle
It can easily be torn apart and laid to rest

I feel there is courage in my heart
Courage and the will to succeed
There are days when I feel unloved
Days when I have a deep yearning and need

I hunger for something more
I thirst for things of splendor and beauty
I want to be understood and acknowledged
Within me lies a deep and never ending – desire
Sometimes I hear the voice of Satan
Tempting me to quench my unholy thirst
But I will not be tempted by the Devil
Nor will I be drawn towards the evil of his – fire

Many mornings I awake
With tears in my eyes
I feel that my life
Is nothing but a big lie

When the sun sets in the sky
I lay down upon my bed
I try to deal with the confusion
That is always present in my head

I know that many people suffer
There are those who are suffering more than me
I should be thankful for the things I have
Because there are many who slumber in the – streets
It is important to think positive
It is important to hold my head high
Though I walk through a tunnel of fire
I will remain strong and I won’t be burned by the - heat

I feel that my mind
Is nothing more than a barren wasteland
I’ve got to believe I possess intelligence
I’ve got to believe I have the ability to understand

Life can be a struggle
It can be painful beyond measure
I must learn to treat each day as a gift
All that I receive should be considered a treasure

How I wish that I were a king-
And I’d have a lovely queen by my side
Together we would rule our kingdom
Together we’d create a wondrous and joyful – land
I want to run across a beach along the ocean
I want to swim and ride the waves of the sea
Come and run with me among the dunes
Hold me and kiss me as we lay in the – sand

Though we do not possess wings
Everyone has the ability to fly
Though I feel unable to soar
I will continue to try

One day I will rocket through the clouds
I will fly towards the stars of space
And when I return to the earth below
Everyone will finally see a look of joy upon my face
