PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

For so long I didn't want to be me. I didn't want to face the challenges that my life presented me. I wanted to escape, to live through my heroes and their many feats. But as the years passed I became more hollow, and my very being just a shadow. I would indulge in drugs and self-pity, I would merely just exist, and I thought my life would pass without rapture, eternally in captured by my apathy. Until the day I cracked, until the day I had enough of myself and this lack of tenacity. I peeled myself down to the very core and there was little like of what I found there, there was little worth keeping, but there was something, a feeling almost completely forgotten, the feeling I had as a child that blindly led me to believe anything was possible. I can't tell you that I cast aside all my self-doubt and regrets in a single moment, but I did isolate them from my self-worth and passions, and like a child I dared to let myself believe anything was possible. I challenged myself to be an optimist, to realize my only limits where the ones I placed upon myself. So like a child I set forth to make dreams a reality, and whether I'm naive or not doesn't matter, because for the first time in my life I believe in myself and I won't limit what I can do.
