I think we are all searching for a sense of pride, <br />We want to do things right, <br />At least I know I do, <br />I need the words to flow, <br />Because what I need to show, <br />Has been written deep inside my heart, <br />I have written letters, <br />And read them for the meaning I have given them, <br />I need to find my way in this life, <br />A long journey that it is, <br />Where I face treachery and anger, <br />Sometimes violence, <br />But I don't let that distort or cloud my judgement, <br />I just reach out into my soul, <br />To steer this life on track and be in control, <br />I don't need to take from anyone: <br />All I have is this deeper love in my heart, <br />Where fire and passion burns, <br />And happiness makes a start, <br />Because these words are precious to me, <br />I need to let those words free, <br />And show what I suppose everyone knows: <br />Just be yourself and watch your life glow, <br />Like a lucky star at midnight, <br />Where trains whiz past in their fever, <br />Carrying people seemingly cold, <br />Yet hiding passion they dare not show.<br /><br />Paula Glynn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/searching-113/
