A Quiet Heart

Just want contentment.
Stop feeling resentment.

Don’t even want to be happy.
No platitudes that are corny and sappy.

Need to feel a love.
For myself and from Someone above.

Need a purpose, a direction.
A path made by me without outside protection.

No one to shelter me from the evils of the world.
Need to be brave, my strengths wanting to be unfurled.

Tired of existing in this world just to breathe.
Tired of feeling hopeless. I want to believe.

Need a reason to exist and to strive for an achievable goal.
A special woman is ready to climb out of this hole.

Is there a place in this world where I can be happy and free?
A space on this earth where I can be just Me!
