Sometimes there is a sadness
That befalls upon your face.
As you struggle with these feelings
This frown you can't erase.

Sometimes there is a hurt
That only you can feel.
When others reach to help you,
You say it's no big deal.

Sometimes there is a jelousy
That you can't seem to hide.
You try to hold back bitterness,
As it twists and pulls inside.

Sometimes there is an anger
That turns your heart to stone.
No type of love you let inside,
And you find yourself alone.

Let go of all these feelings,
And you will surely find.
True happiness will follow
Along with peace of mind.

You just used a tiny little hammer
to hit a great big nail squarely on the head !

Wonderfully done !

Eloise,
This is so true. I hate to say that today was my breaking point. I feel all of those things you speak of, I hope I can take your advice, as it is the truth. So hard to do sometimes. Beautiful read, Thank You.

Xeonox, denise, Sudhir, Marge, Kit and Jenn, thank you all so much for stopping by and commenting.  Sometimes certain emotions overtake us and we just really need to stop and sit back to realize where we are going and do some minor adjustments in our lives to get us back on the right path.  

Jenn, I hope all went well for you.   Thanks.

very true words you have penned here and so eloquently as well.  

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.
