Far From Satisfied

I'm not sad, but not truly happy

I'm content but far from satisfied

Peaceful outside, but restless inside

Excited for tomorrow, yet fearful of the future

Strong in my beliefs, but weak in my actions

Always wearing a smile, while hiding the tears

Loving and trusting, though scared to be hurt

Settling for less, but knowing there’s more

Calming my thoughts by writing down words

Displaying my heart out on paper

Wanting to share them but will keep them all hidden

For no one would ever understand

The silence I've grown to depend on

The solitude I've learned to accept

I'm not sad, but not truly happy

Still content, but far from satisfied.
