This poem is basically about me, and to show that my name is more than something 'cool' I made up

I open my eyes to a blurred image
Trying to finally see
What am I supposed to think
What am I supposed to be?

I try to impress everyone
And I give everything best
But if I can't please myself
How can I please the rest?

I make those around me happy
And help them through their pain
So why do I feel empty inside
Or hurt trying to smile again?

I want to go and be someone
Have a path all my own
But every time I get close
My feelings, I disown

I am confused by my life
Isn't it better to give?
If so, then how come when I help others
It hurts me to live?

Now I am too confused and perplexed
I do not know which road to take
All I see is these clouded dreams
And I fear I have lived a mistake


Yes there will be tommorrow, but will you be there to greet it?

Brought a tear to my eye. I know what its like to make everyone else happy while I'm being torn apart inside. Keep it up.

Love conquers all, so I must be in a losing battle.

sometimes we have to reserve some space for ourselves. Don't be harsh to yourself. That's normal.

P.S True to Yourself! Cheers

I love that. True True True True True.

Sometimes what you write makes me wonder if we're two peas in a pea carrying device.

Nice work Clouded Dreams!

Man... can I ever feel this poem... describes my life perfectly.... Half the time I'm depressed, yet always find the time to help people with their problems, misguided as I sometimes am... you ask a good question in this: why does it hurt so much?  If only I had the answer....  This poem is deffinatly going in my library.

This was great. I loved it greatly. I can't really reply right now, lost circulation in my hands due to being on computer too long reading great writings such as this one!! This was awesome, keep it up! ~*~Me~*~
