Bitter Emptiness


I’m no light in anyone's life
Far from becoming any man's wife
There are no children to kiss goodnight
Happiness is nowhere in my sight

Hopes and dreams fill up the day
At night demons come out and play
Too much drama with too little laughter
I want my happily ever after

When I cannot see a rainbow's smile
When disappointments seem to pile
When dismal thoughts fill up my time
I struggle for just one more rhyme

My naked soul cries silently
For a sparkle of sincerity
As a girl losing her identity
Seeks traces of humanity

Who knows what tomorrow brings
Struggling to fly with broken wings
When the song of yesterday sharply stings
I try to remember my favorite things

How did it all become such a mess?
I should accept for nothing less
My life I guess I must confess
Is filled with bitter emptiness
