So im happy
this is weird for me
the first time Im awake in the middle of the night
and not silently crying
im smiling
my face isnt use to this
a part of me thought this wouldnt fit
but it does
I'm connected to God
righted some of my wrongs
can breathe again
stepped out from the wrong
now im in the light
and i couldnt feel more right

when they renewed their vows
thats the first time he said out loud
how much he loved her
and she was so proud
because in his eyes wasn't the broken child
black and blue
it's the man that learned to love

In a dark room, we're all looking for that light, that glimpse of reality.
Craving intimacy, finding comfort in promiscuity.
Keep going blindfolded maybe one day you'll find yourself.
Meanwhile everyone is dancing around you,
Keep going blindfolded maybe one day you'll find answers.
All saying they're different but all acting the same.
Scared of loosing the important, forgetting about the present
As depressing as it is, in the past lies all your answers
But the hope, the future brings, blinds us all.
Everytime. This time, and the time before.
Last time.
Staying in the dark. Everytime.
This time, and the time before.
Last call, keep going blindfolded
Let me enjoy the darkness.

I wish I could go outside
and enjoy the beauty
of this sunny day
but instead,
I hide in the darkness
where my pain lives
cause you are not there
and he is...

She begs, she moans, she weeps in sorrow
Oh, please let me live tomorrow
She masks her deep despair
Wishing her life could be fair
I just clicked the "shuffle" button on the main page, for the first time,
Did y'all know that was there?
Honestly,  it saddened me because all the poems I read only had, on average, about two or three likes and most of them were absolutely amazing!
So, I went to these unknown poets pages and got even sadder, hardly any followers either!  
It's a shame that with all the readers,  poets and writers alike that any poet would go unnoticed.

This is my challenge for you...  It's not to write any poems...
Click the shuffle button! Read the poems, like them, share them, add them,  everything!  

Help the new and upcoming poets get the recognition and feedback they deserve for their writing!  

*Challenge:
1. Click shuffle
2. Read Poems
3. Like and Comment
4. Repeat Ten Times
This is dedicated to CourageWhispers, the first "unknown poet" I found using shuffle, she's amazing,  please go to http://hellopoetry.com/turquoisebravery/ and read her poems.
This is also for all the poets on here that get discouraged by their lack of reads and likes, stay optimistic, you'll be discovered soon.
