My Worn-Out Soul



My soul feels tossed and sometimes lost
When someone says I need  
To only trust their words and must
Not question where they lead.

My soul will cry whenever I
Feel no one cares about
The things I want and said upfront,
Their honesty in doubt.

I've said all this, still some dismiss
My words as not enough.
And so, I say, "You think I play.
But it's not 'off the cuff"'!
 

About this poem

I'm just another face in the crowd by many who try to make money off of my poetry book by saying they have all the answers to what they say I need!
