The New Person!

The New Person

By Mike Pozzi

I’m feeling empty and I’m feeling sad,

I have no self esteem and it’s driving me mad.

It’s frustrating trying to fight it back,

But fight I must, just to stay on track.

The feelings come, and the feelings go,

It’s a horrible thing, and that I know.

I can be smiling, enjoying my day,

They’ll come out of nowhere and set up to stay.

Then someone asks, how are you today?

I think to myself, what should I say?

Should I really tell them, or just say okay?

I just say okay, and go solemnly on my way.

My thought patterns, they go haywire,

They are acting on there own, not of my desire.

I need better coping skills, yes,  that’s what I require.

I must trust in someone and explain the desire.

Hopefully they can help, but we must give the invitation!

Wouldn't it be nice to get out of this dreadful situation?

Just let it out and set it free,

make room for the person you really want to be!

Take off the shackles and the chains,

You will love the new person that remains!

I just feel the urge to walk!
