Poem #247 Virtual Reality

 
I really wish, I was out of this union, a miserable mess,
What can I say, there is no happiness to confess;
Wherever I see, I only see closed doors,
I want to escape, before I am toast!

The tears trickle down, free and unending,
My future a haze, all foundations need a mending;
Tired of being stabbed, a million times to the hilt,
I have to let go, and restart from scratch my life’s build!

I suffer in silence, feeling all lonely and lost,
I wish there was happiness, my life bringing smiles I need the most;
Arms comforting, a sturdy shoulder, for me to lean on,
On days that go bad, some one I can truly rely on!

I am tired of being called, strong and resilient,
I would have loved to be simple, invisible and silent;
There are days, when I feel I can’t go on anymore,
I want to give up, say I am done, and show myself the door!

Instead I focus my thoughts, pouring my heart into a poem,
A collection of my emotions, reflecting my anguish and turmoil;
Then I go on about my day, as if nothing transpired,
Living the happy reality I have created, that’s best described as virtual!
