FINDING MYSELF

Finding myself again,
is harder than before.
I know who I am now,
but I always wanted more.

I'm my biggest critic.
I'm never good enough.
An ant in this cruel world.
No room to show my stuff.

A hermit to this place,
afraid to show my face.
Scared of what they'll think,
of a past I can't erase.

Won't settle for less than perfect,
when it comes to me.
Until then I hide,
my flaws they'll never see.

I am now a number,
no meaning in my name.
Making friends gets harder,
it'll never be the same.

The shell I thought I left behind,
finds me once again.
I'm so scared, don't wanna cry,
and so I crawl back in.

You write your 'hurts' so well that when you move on to a more positive space your words should be even more meaningful and beautiful. Growth in living is never easy, but the memories..........

Are these your real feelings ( I hope not) or is this just art??

Your shell has a pleasant light shining out to us.  
One day it will carry you through.

It a touching poem. Reminded me of myself before. I used to search for myself...only now I think I've lost it.

Those walls will go up and down

Katie? The search for ones' self is open ended...At least it is for me. I read you and it seems that you aren't as befuddled as you may think.


Sorry, I just don't comment much.
