Sunflower
I whisper to myself
someday there will be a day
when it will all make sense
when readers will decipher
the codes of the poet’s prose
leading to the system of her speculation
when all is revealed
someday things are going to change
things are going to be different
but for the better
someday I would not be afraid
for what is to come my path
I won’t see fear in his eyes no more
no more in mine
never looking away
someday I will have the strength
to venture on with no regrets
no looking back
to let go
someday I will have the courage
to speak my truth once more
own my story
to be the black sheep
I know I have always been
someday all my patience and waiting for
will pay for the result
someday all will be in bloom
my hopes, my dreams, my wishes
standing tall, wide open with its luscious petals
with pride and courage
someday it’s gonna be all okay
is what I keep saying to myself
as I drink the night away to
cry myself to sleep
to dream of my fears and horrors
someday it’s going to all disappear
someday, I whisper
only someday
