Powerful piece….. Few people really know who they are…

surreptitiouspoet

Labelled an extrovert by others,

Yet an introvert in my own head.

Unable to believe those who say

A bright future lies ahead.

 

Between a rock and a hard place,

Stuck with a job I’d rather avoid.

Incapable of pursuing my dreams,

Fearful of being unemployed.

 

And then there’s the elusive girl,

So clear in my mind’s eye.

Who fails to materialise,

And I can’t fathom why.

 

Confused by society’s rules,

And by why I’m losing the game.

When all I seek is happiness and love,

Not fickle fortune and fame.

 

Emotions fluctuating daily,

From hope to outright despair.

Hunting for my clothes,

Now that life has stripped me bare.
