You will always break it down

Why do u say you are lonely?
Their puzzled faces do not understand
You have a beautiful wife to be your comfort
Take pride in what you have,
Be thankful for the gifts bestowed upon you !
They can not know the deep of my mind
For them no storms of doubt rage over rivers of regret
Memories of words never spoken, opportunities lost.
They are set rigid in their notions of what life should be
Their views are not mine.
The bars of the cage they seek to put me cannot contain me
Yet I am still a prisoner, not of their making, but of mine
Doors that seemed open now shut tight
If only I knew how to fashion a key to help me escape
I would grasp it firmly with both hands, never let it slip away
They hold so loosely what I seek to posess
I watch them smile, dance and sing
Its easy they say, laugh in my face
I feel like an outcast
Wrongly accused of some terrible crime
Stare deep into my eyes and tell me what u look upon
If you see only your reflection
You are really seeing nothing
But if you can like so few, so very few
Try to take a peek beyond
If indeed you see, Look deeper, to the barriers that protect me
Strong walls my defence against the hurt outside
And yet, weakened by the few that have tried
In places they yield, break apart
The true path to my heart revealed
I am the one they call shy
It is a curse sometimes to be this way
Yearning to be like the chameleon, to adapt to every situation
But unable to blend in
Backing away from uncertainty
Sometimes it feels like I am out of step
Trying so hard to be loved
Remember that when next I tell you a joke or make you smile
This is my shield, I hold it high
But if you are strong you will always break it down.

more, please.
there is something about your poetry that sounds so familiar; perhaps i just feel your words. this poem evokes both beautiful imagery and strong emotion.
i've read all of your poems now, and am anxious for more. painted_echos |
