Sometimes, Somehow, Somewhere

Warning: The following poem is ridden with cliche. So much so that it may induce cliche-related headaches or vomitting. Now that that's out of the way - enjoy! :)


Sometimes, you have to see the truth.

Sometimes, you have to clear away the debris.

Sometimes, you have to look through the wreckage.

Sometimes, you have to feel melancholy.


Somehow, you have to move on.

Somehow, you have to regain control.

Somehow, you have to pick up the pieces.

Somehow, you have to cleanse your soul.


Somewhere, there are people just like you.

Somewhere, there are people that will understand.

Somewhere, there is a place where you can forget.

Somewhere, there is a new perfect land.


Sometimes, the struggle is hard to endure.

Sometimes, the memories do not fade.

Sometimes, the haunting will maim you.

Sometimes, the sun shines on your shade.


Somehow, you will find a helping hand.

Somehow, they’ll help end your strife.

Somehow, you will no longer cower.

Somehow, you will rediscover life.


Somewhere, hope will be instilled again.

Somewhere, new memories will be created.

Somewhere, dreams will be within reach.

Somewhere, the darkness will have faded.

Written by moi in Year 12. I ended up choosing a different poem which was published in the school magazine, so I probably made the "write" choice. Hahaha. :)

Again glimpses of a fantastic writer! Screw the old man.
