Poetry: A day in my life

by Erin G

A day in my life
A sky of often-grey
A never-lifting cloud
An endless fall of rain

A bout of shining sun
Playing peek-a-boo
Between clearing clouds
Hope alight, day anew

Burning craving to be accepted
An overpowering desire
Within confinements of my heart and soul
To be normal I aspire

Scars litter body
Both inside my heart and out
Missing puzzle piece
Produce feeling of self-doubt

Head high and true
Pride and dignity remain
A small smile creeps across my face
Life, a gift; Lived not in vain

Through all the twists and turns
The corners and dead-ends
A bow must be untied
As nothing else contends

The rain will clear
The sun I know will shine
Life is never easy, just worth it
But to live, it is mine

    Of freedom's wit
    Serving my country
    Proud

    Here inside this body
    Lives a ME that no one knows
    A ME that's hard to understand
    A ME I haven't chose

    To be bitter and misgiving
    Is

    The world on my shoulders, a smile on my face
    The girl in the mirror is hard to embrace
    I'm a mother of three, yet I tend to
