finding myself... my desires... my goals...
is what i plan to do
conservative at times, wait i might change my mind
umm i need a sign
getting it all together just to let it all go
seems like i have done this too many times
i pick up my life and put it in a satchel and carry it around
to one day dump it all out and look at it as it sits on the ground
listening to the ever ponding in my head as it sings its own melody
i want to be free...
there is an anchor in my heart holding me down
keeping me close to the ground
family values is their label
i let them go once
man i stooped so low
said i was letting myself go
blinding myself with a false happiness
money, drugs, and a man who said he love me (which i know he did
but as a man the activities that he let me participate in for his own selfish reason..maybe
but thats another story)
no reason to feel sorry you see my face and you read my words but you dont truely know my story
for hindsight is 20/20 life is kind of funny
having knowledge but not knowing
being happy but not having happiness
like life has a mask and every once in a while he reveals himself
a free mind a grounded heart running together yet standing still
so truely what is having it, whatever it is that makes u all put together,
or falling apart
what is true happiness everlasting happiness to the root an the core to the depths of ones soul
how is one to know if they never have had it
they say you cant miss what you never had
yet ones heart still yearns
with all the twist an truns whos right and whos wrong
perception is in the eye of the beholder
.......
so is there something wrong with my eyes
(lol not funny but damn getting your life together truly together is so hard and confusing to do end note working progress)
I hope you get to a place
I hope you get to a place with better balances in life rather than finding it so difficult to get your life together, good luck. You sound the kind of person to go all out at circumstances of life, a kind of intense person, which can be good if directed to what you want in life, especially getting your life together. I liked your poem it was from the heart about all that is confusing and difficult to understand. Your poem makes for a good read and is well written.
