Although I am lost, I am strong!
I wonder what my future holds?
I hear the sound of time ticking away.
I see yet another day go by.
I want to live each moment in wonder.
and although I am lost, I am strong!

I pretend to be in control of each day.
I feel that my life is out of control.
I touch reality but then it goes away.
I worry that my life won't be as I want.
I cry only when I think no one can hear.
But although I am lost, I am strong!

I understand everyone feels scared sometime.
I say what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
I dream I will do the best at things I do.
I try to look at each new day with a smile.
I hope to take each opportunity given to me.
because although I am lost now, I am strong!

Don't worry you're not alone, I often ask myself what my future holds even though I do my best but sometimes its not always enough. I often dream alot even when Im not sleeping and sometimes the harshness of reality wakes me up and I feel sad or mad.
Great poem I really enjoyed it and I can't wait till your next one.

Give her two red roses, each with a note. The first note says "For the woman I love" and the second, "For my best friend."

Great response to such an old challenge.  I just may dust off my pen and try this a second time around myself...
Listen to Aaron, he is a smart guy.

Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a day.  Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Great job here on this one. Very well done. I enjoyed this poem quite a bit! You replied to the challenge with ease.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
