The days grow short, nights are shorter

I’m a wife, a mother, and a daughter

Pulled in all directions, until I’m numb

It’s no wonder why, I’m feeling glum

I need some space, to call my own

A quiet spot, where I’m unknown

No one to call my name, out loud

Far away, from the roaring crowd

Yet, I do not know, of such a place

To live my life, at my own pace

One day I hope to find that peace

When overwhelming moments cease

Quietly Sigh

For Cathy

They come at me
In all directions
Never quite understanding
My emphatic objections

The longing for peace
In the simplest form
As sadly I realize
Will never be the norm

Though try as I might
To gather my thoughts
So many emotions
Have me troubled and fraught

I want to break free
And although I may try
I remember what matters
And quietly sigh

Melancholy

melancholy, Night Owl Poetry, overwhelmed, poems, poetry, sadness

There is no answer to
Her more than somber mood
Shadowed by sadness
Overwhelming , unexplained

Missing pieces
Scattered about
Just out of reach
Baring a soul
Taunting its very being

And she struggles
With effort to break this gloom
Never giving up, fighting
This mournful feeling
She cannot let capture her resolve
