My Restless Heart

I wrote this poem about two days ago... 

My Restless Heart

My restless heart grows weary
From the strain of every day
As I plod my way through life
And watch the skies turn gray

My restless heart strains
Against the pulling of the tide
As I fail and stumble, trip and fall
Though time and time I've tried

My restless heart cannot take it
The years of endless failures mount
The heartache and the broken dreams
Are far too numerous to count

My restless heart is tired now
From trying to love this world
And trying to please everyone 
And be their perfect little girl

My restless heart is empty now
Void of any hope or dream
For as angry words break me down
Bitterness tears me at the seams

My restless heart is torn between
Trying to leave my past behind
Or traveling down the worn-out road
Toward a familiar pain I know I'll find

My restless heart is growing weak
From the toil of each painful day
My restless heart is just not strong enough
To choose to go another way
