    Almost A Rainbow

    As the world turns
    My soul yearns
    To be reunited
    After consistently
    Being slighted
    I would be
    Lying
    If I tried
    To deny it
    There was once hope
    A hope
    That I poured
    Everything into
    A hope slowly
    Fading
    A fact
    That I cannot
    Seem to cope
    With
    Wounded healer
    Searching for
    The Balm in Gilead
    To use as concealer
    My eyes water
    The tears do not
    Fall
    I do not
    Want to scream
    But I want to
    Make sure
    That you hear
    My call

      Grayson, my favorite lines of this poem are “I do not/ Want to scream/ But I want to/ Make sure/ That you hear/ My call.” This is so true for so many people. Though we don’t want to really make noise, we want to be heard by those who matter to us. Thank you for sharing this moving piece!
