To Be Me Again I watch the tears trickle down the panes and feel them wash away the warmth of you. I view them behind closed lids, each drop a moment in time when once they were reminders of happiness. I shade my eyes in blue, deeper all the time burying my sorrows in tears that overflow reading my heart. I close my eyes to the morn seeking only darkness and gloom, punishing my will, pondering the causes of my ills. I seek to find, wish to hope, desire to want, a release of the reign of sadness that has it's hold on me... To be me again. ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

I wish it weren't true - but I can identify with this. I wish to be me again as well |

Beautiful, Wynter. The search for self I think is a constant, for all of us. To find it and keep it, not easy. "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. Socrates |

You have been so supportive of my poetry here...and I want to give you a bit of my day today. For the first time, in a long time...I am feeling like myself again. And I wish this for you, too. If I was a huggy person, I'd send ya one...but I'm not. Ha! Hope this will do. |

May you wish upon a star and all your wishes come true. You will be yourself again, but you must find yourself first. You must look beyond your hurt and frustration. It will come - be patient. Taffetta |

Wynter - at times one can't go back and 'be me again'. Perhaps this is one of those times. Be you, but be you from today, and let the world open up to you. Go after it, and let it come to you, the person from today. A Big Teddy Bear Hug, BC |

I think the majority rules in these comments! But you'll go back to being you always, but in a different more experienced way. Your heart won't fade and your creative ability still flows....but you'll change somewhat don't you think? Many many times it's for the better....whatever you do keep on writing like this!! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |
