M's Poetry
Under The Surface
From underneath I wanted you
to see the first thing
I ever poured my heart into
You'll never know the pain
that I've been through
I'm not so sure you'll ever know
and so I'll make you understand
the words that built my life
were not from you, but from my father's hand
Do you remember that cold day in December
leaving everything you knew behind
I may never know how it feels
to stand beside you
or take your hand when I need some direction
and I may never know what it's like to see you smile back at me
Or know you'd be proud of me
but underneath it all
I promise to erase the past
and let my heart live at last
replace the dark of old
and start anew
I never thought I'd see the day
I walk toward the end of life
and turn the other way
you can't control me anymore
because guess what....I have let go
