Today I am standing <br />In this sully moment <br />With halting words <br />And a new sense of wonder <br />Watching my thoughts <br />Come and go <br />With empty hopes And surprises <br />Where nothing is making sense <br />Due to the heartache <br />That I'm feeling intensely.... <br />Where unspoken resentment <br />Unmet expectations <br />Chronic frustration <br />And empty words <br />Are hitting me hard <br />And are filling <br />The ocean of my life's lesson <br />With tears and more tears.... <br />Its not letting me move forward <br />Because I'm chained tightly <br />To the dead weight of past emotions <br />That is anchoring my troubled soul... <br />And this disappointment <br />Is leaving me behind <br />And forcing me to do <br />The unpleasant task of <br />Squashing, crushing and pinching <br />Life's sour lemon...........<br /><br />Seema Chowdhury<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ocean-of-life-s-lesson/
