“Leaves are starting
To fall onto the floor
As cooler and shorter days
Unfold every morning
As I walk out the door.
My heart is as heavy as
The darkest clouds in the sky
And I’ve been wondering why
Nothing seems to be going right.
Looking for better days
I keep my burning
And tired eyes opened
But days fly by and I still
Spend them hoping…
Bruised but not yet beaten
Till better days happen
My heart and I will
Stand here waiting even
When sadness wants to forbid it.”
Ana.
