You, you let me down,
Yeah, You,
You left me on the ground,
You, you left me bruised,
Yeah, you.
You told me not to make a sound.
Nobody was there, to walk with me
through the pain.
Nobody else felt the tears I cried,
Just like the rain.
The lightning struck,
but I never let it strike me
down.
The thunder roared,
but I still wore my crown.
You, you tried to keep me on the ground,
Yeah, you said I was crazy,
Made my head spin around.
Now, now it's 2023,
And, it's time for everyone to see;
Yeah, you,
You no longer have a hold on me.
And, I will climb higher than I have ever been;
I will reach for those dreams, you told me could
never be seen.
I will bring the thunder down to the ground,
And, I will turn my life around;
I will light up the sky brighter than has
Ever been seen,
Because I can live without you,
And I can achieve my dreams.

Hall of mirrors
Things used to matter, before all the noise. And at that time when things still had meaning, there had been dreaming too, when dreams still mattered. And the brightest dream from those times was full of mountains and seas and smiles and the types of passion that absorbs you the way a dog is absorbed by witnessing something for the first time: with absolute presence, and awe.

Love this poem , this poem rock 💪🏼
Hi there Carol, been a while. It's not always sunshine and roses is it? I hope the new year is much better than the old one for us all. Your poem resonated with me though I try very hard to be positive. New year new dreams. I liked the honesty of the poem.
