A Long Wait

by LittleMermaid   Jun 22, 2012


Far away in the distance, are my aspirations,
My heart wandering beyond the limit,
In the search of happiness and freedom,
Though I'm not sure if it's within my reach.

My heart aches, with this never ending pain,
There is this deep wound never going to heal,
Tired of waiting the sunshine in my life,
I'm losing the patience held for so long.

But still, there's this little hope that has kept me alive,
There's a weak gleam that lights me again,
An insight that I'm pulled by,
Strange thought of strength that has kept me up.

I'm not sure if it's a blind faith,
But still I love being in the dreamland of my own.
It's been a long wait with much more expectations,
Don't destroy me this time for I won't be able to stand again...

    "It's been a long wait with much more
    expectations,"

    Sometimes, life just seems like a long, never-ending wait; expectations aren't fulfilled and they're just piling up..

    "Don'tdestroy me this time for I won't be
    able to stand again..."

    The previous lines, I have to agree, are very inspiring. But the ending is just hopeless and sad. I don't know if that was your intention or not, but I think this would be better categorized under 'sad poems'. However.. this may also be a life poem since, as stated earlier, life seems to be only a long wait. I don't know. But I find it a bit confounding right now.
    Maybe it's just me and I don't feel particularly well right now aha.
    Still, this was very well-written, Pratikshya. Keep writing!

    To me this sounds more like an inspirational
    piece. Happiness comes within.
    Hope and Faith are very essential to make
    it through life. God is never early nor late
    but always on time. The strenght comes from him
    enjoyed reading
    5/5
