I am drowning in a sea of emotions and thoughts.
What is real and what is not i can not tell.
Everything is just swirling around,
like a tornato ready to touch down.
I feel lost and trapped,
like my mind may snap.
Where is the me,
I thought myself to me.
I saw a light shining,
was to be my silver lining.
I long for an outstreched hand,
to make me feel more human.
But i see that will never be.
I am doomed to be......
just me.

What a great poem!    I particularly like your reference to the tornado - it puts that image immediately into mind!  I look forward to reading more of your poetry

I love your imagery.  You know what's funny?  The people you would rather be more like have that exact same longing at times.

We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar

Shape without form, shade without color,
Paralyzed force, gesture without motion;

--T.S. Eliot

I'm not the official Greater, but
Welcome to Dark Passions, my friend.
this is a great start here.
drowning in a sea of emotions we can all understand, and trying to reach an unreachable light that might bring us out of our ?? drowning, is also something we can all understand, you have hit many points here, we see clearly,
But not doomed to be just you, that can be a wonderful experience in life, it is what you make of it, it's not in the attaining the light, but in the reaching for.

this is a wonderful poem.
Light and love my friend.

Joel.

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

Firstly welcome!!  You described your feelings wonderfully here, but I will add doomed to be just me, is NOT a sentence, YOU and only YOU have the power to make yourself and your life whatever you want them to be.
If you sit back and don't fight for your dreams etc, you will indeed be doomed to a life of nothing much, but if you fight your life can be wonderful and anything you want!
Movie quote from 'Steel Magnolias' - "I'd rather have three minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special!!"
Great work  

I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.....

this is sooooo very good.  extremely raw and exposing.  to accept ones self, and realize that is all you are... rather double edged, is it not?  be proud or be disappointed... the battle wages on.

But a mere chapter,
But a man to a woman
Is an entire book.--
