What will I become
In the days yet seen
Will i live up to these expectations
Achieve all the dreams

I know i should put the past in the past
But its always closer than it seems
My heart wont allow my mind the peace that it needs

I know its hard to understand
But the pain feels like so much more to me
And when i try to block it out like they do
It grows all the more extreme

So here i lay caught up in
An insomniacs dream
I lie with my eyes open once again
Remenecing over a harsh past quietly

I smile back upon the few good things
And strain to take it light heartedly
But my causual exploit will Become the death of me

I always seek to find the things
That wreak havoc within me
But i am always to critical
And i fall even further from being free

Everyone smiles and gives me more
Of what they think i need
But the obvious contrast of two minds
Only gives me more insecurity

You're so beautiful, intense, and profound Paul...how could expect a simple life? You'll find your way. Just hold on. As for the poem itself...it was great. They always are. I just wish you'd believe that.
