beneath the surface

Amogelang Mooketsi

BENEATH THE SURFACE

Amidst the chaos of the world,
Where screams of laughter dance and twirl,
I search for a solace, a serene place
Where my heart can find its own true pace.

Beneath surface of my soul,
A gentle voice speaks within me,
My inner child whispers "make me whole"
A heartfelt plea that echoes meek
A longing to heal, to be made whole.

Beneath the surface, I search for me 
Through waves of pain, and storms of hurt
I'm lost and alone, with no indication of a green light.
Each small step forward, a victory to claim
But shadows pull me back, a trillion million steps into the dark once again

But perhaps someday...
I'll find my way to a heart that's whole
To a home thats warm, where love resides and I'm never alone
Where I can be myself and my heart can glow 
And maybe then, I'll learn to love again
And find my way in the world's grand plan!

  • Dan Williams

    I see an awful lot of hurt here but at the end a touch of hope. That is the heart of poetry, I think. Nice work.

  • DIPHOLO

    This is deeply moving—raw, vulnerable, and honest. Your words capture the quiet struggle beneath the noise, and the hope that still flickers in the dark. Truly beautiful.
