Grief
To be me
By Haneefah Angulo
I don't know what to do to end the pain
I feel inside
I've tried to hide it,
but I can no longer lie
My head feels like it's about to bust
Wish that I could hang the pain up
Disillusioned by much in my life
So much struggle
So much sacrifice
Stuck in a box
Closed in on all sides
No air to breath
No sunshine, no light
Except for the light that's inside my heart
Hope, my guiding light
keeps my spirits up
Dreams are all I have
They seem so bright
How do I get from here to there?
How do I claim my right...
to happiness?
I'm mad about this
I can't handle this
position of ice.
Frozen
My hopes and dreams, my goals
are all lined up
How do I get from the bottom
to the very top?
Confusion, disillusioned with allusions
It's almost amusing
to those who look from the outside in,
unable to comprehend the pain
I am in.
How do I explain it?
How do I make them understand,
that if I could
I would change things in a second?
Why is it so hard for people to see,
that in spite of contrary belief, it's not easy to be me?
In spite of contrary belief,
that I did not choose this suffering?
