Want My Glory Back Poem by Zubaida Boland

where are my glorious days?
when i used to hold a cup
so heavy, yet it felt so great
i used to handle everything right
i used to do everything on time
but now i'm lost in a maze
and living in a disgrace
gosh how i need my confidence back
i want to stand up again
on my bare feet
on the rigid ground
i hope it never shakes again
so TAKE MY HAND
to run the miles together
step by step
don't treat me as if i were invisible
it only makes me feel worse
i know i've made many mistakes
i really regret the time i've wasted
should have opened my eyes
wide before it all started
coz now they're shut
i hope this doesn't last
forever
i miss being the girl i used to be
all prepared, all done right
and never late
want my glory, want my pride
take my hand
together we can run the miles.
