Moments

Feedback Please

This is my first poem, and I’d genuinely love honest feedback. I’m naturally drawn to rhyme and rhythm, so the poem flows in a single, song-like way. That said, the emotions and feelings in it are raw and personal. I hope you read it for both its sound and its sincerity.

Moments

I am okay, I am fine Just not every day, every time. A moment here, a moment there I can smile from ear to ear.

But then I can cry too, And those moments are not few. I cry at old photographs, Some silly paragraphs.

I even cry for no reason at all, And those moments hurt most of all. I feel so lonely in a crowd, Searching for silence in all the loud.

But I fail every time I try, And my eyes are never dry. I loved to laugh all the time, Now those moments are no longer mine.

I can smile a little here and a little there, For all the people far and near. I wish to find a little quiet and peace, For my bleeding heart that never sleeps.
