Poetry by Beverley

I feel like I’m sinking,
Please Help! Pull me out.
My life is a shambles,
I just want to shout.

No one understands me,
I feel all alone.
I am just so exhausted,
But I don’t want to moan.

My smile for the world,
Is not how I feel.
I have to keep going,
My kids need a meal.

My life has no meaning,
I just seem to exist.
From this day to that day,
I just live in a mist.

A haze of what could be,
I can see the light.
It comes a bit closer,
Then it’s dark just like night.

When will the tide turn,
I just need some hope.
I feel like I’m hanging,
On a long piece of rope.

I have no control over
How it should be,
I do all the right things,
So why can’t I see.

I know my vibration,
Determines it all.
So why do I do this,
Bang my head on a wall.

I shouldn’t let others,
Affect how I feel.
I am bigger than this,
And my goals are all real.

I now pick myself up,
Make a choice to move on.
I am greater than this,
Negativity be gone.

I will make a difference,
And I will shine my light.
I won’t live in darkness,
Unless it is night.

I choose to be happy,
And continue my life.
I will make a difference,
And help others in strife.

I will never give up,
On the good that I do.
And I tell you this,
Because neither should you.

So pick yourself up,
Make a choice now and live.
Your life does have meaning,
You have so much to give.

Move your dreams into action,
Start a fresh from today.
Just one step at a time 
and then  it’s up, up and away.
