Blog Assignment #7 - Langston Hughes

My Own Theme

I don't really understand,

how hard could something like this be?

I wake up everyday,

simply not knowing whats in store for me.

I take pride in what I put my mind to,

even though it might seem that I don't.

But even though I may seem happy,

the real me just cant seem to pull through.

We are all faced with problems everyday,

as we expect everything to simply just go our way.

But for me it doesn't come that simple,

for I am honestly fighting everyday.

I keep my head on my shoulders,

and always with my head held high.

But what you don't see is my constant struggle inside.

Yes, I may seem perfect but I can prove you wrong,

for within this life I live, it could be a total fraud.

What people don't know about me remains a secret,

for I am a closed book with ripped up pages.

I wait for the day where I can finally see you,

but until that day I will never really see this through.

I go to sleep tonight and still wonder why,

I cant seem to just let things go by.

But with the spirit of you in me,
 I am never alone as long as your with me.
