free verse poem

"Those days" by MeeSoh Bossard

Somedays you feel alone

The feeling of adventure and exasperation

Itching in every corner of your body

But with no place to go or

Anybody to turn to

You just feel

downright

alone.


Somedays we feel empty

Every breath, every echo, every moment seems to

Mirror our emptiness

So much so that we come to assume

that the sky would care how we feel.

As if the beads of water plopping

Softly onto the pavement are in honor of us,

Like the melody of sadness pouring from the sky

Was meant to be a harmony

To the pianissimo choir that runs down

Each of our cheeks on

These days.


It’s on these somedays

That we long for somebody to understand,

That we long for somebody to listen.

But on most days,

The only person we can count on to be there for us

Is ourselves.
