DEAR SORROW

There are no words to convey the sadness that leads my path...
Sorrow so pure it achingly clings to the shadows...
Honesty within that attracts the home of utter turmoil...
I’m unable to share or even allow for the mistake of vulnerability...
Stepping up to make the decision that changes all and nothing...
Understanding sure to collapse in the confusion of certainty lacked...
Feeling so alone in a crowd, struggling to breathe and make it thru...
A void so wide that nothing can lie in its wake...
A plea to stand by and assemble the sins incapable of forgiveness...
My anger so unsettling that it leaves no chance to be heard...
Carrying on my back the hopes of many and the failure of self...
Stepping aside to encounter that which can't be named...
Aligning such doubts that match the treks of my soulful tears...
Begging for the light to shine away from the mirrors reflection...
Who hears the toll that the bell illuminates as vibrations shatter silence...
No commitment is granted for the issues that continue to hold me a prisoner…
I am so tired...

Sincerely,
Hope
