This Dawn Is Worth Waiting For



I stand against the thunder
Guarding my excuses
With the makeshift umbrella
As I vowed never to go back
Hating the picture
Of what I have become
Deceit joined with lies
My delicious flavors
Stinging me deeper
Within this stupid conscience
Why the world shifts so sudden
The axis tilting me away
Deviating the path of light
The dawn will come late
As the sun mocks at my misery
I inherit the pains
The sufferings are my deeds
But now I look forward
To a new birth
The return of virgin childhood
Embracing me with love
And care
And promises
This dawn is worth waiting for.

  5. So inspiring! I especially love that part "But now I look forward

  9. I enjoy it when you write a long poem like this, GS. Well wordled, and very meaningful. I think we all go through some difficult times, unfortunately, and perhaps make some mistakes as we travel through life; but I love the optimistic ending here, the embracing the self with love and experiencing a new dawn, new beginning.

  10. This spoke very clearly, deeply to me of the human experience and the need we have to be forgiven, to forgive ourselves and to begin again.

  11. What can I add that those before me have not already said? Welcome to Wordles!
    Some of us are lucky to be able to change ourselves earlier than later in life.
    I think poetry offers poets the chance to be children again, and again.
