Pages of My Life…

Life was once a box of chocolates,

Never did I know how it felt when the heart hurts,

Always took things for granted,

Now all I feel is neglect and shunted,

Every cloud has a silver lining,

I always believed that my star would always be shining,

But the star has burnt out,

The confidence replaced by pain and doubt,

Uncertainty stirs a storm,

My life set away from norm,

Painful as it may seem,

I despise to find that many deem,

Me fit for charity,

For the last I need is a glance of sympathy,

I need nothing of the sort,

Claim and retort,

What I need is confidence,

A stroke of independence,

A feeling of trust,

A feeling that life can be at times just,

This is what my heart desires,

This is what builds my raging fires,

I live another moment in hope and dreams,

In which light my hope momentarily gleams….
