Highschool was a whirlwind,
Problems gallore.
Blurry faces through the halls,
Stumbling to the floor.
Could never quite catch myself,
When i sensed that i was about to fall.
Always a minute or a second too late,
Always found myself backed up against a wall.
I graduated and escaped,
Or maybe i closed my eyes and ran.
Tried to find a different path,
Tried to understand.
Found myself in college,
Confused with only a different group of faces.
I was hoping to fill the void,
Hoping to fill the spaces.
So now that all has failed,
The choices were inevitably never right.
I try to find the answer,
I need to shine in a different light.
The day will come when my footing will hold me,
My expectations and experience will be hand in hand.
Until the day comes when i can find my footing in life,
I'll just accept myself for the way i am.

Standing on the edge of the world
Now I don’t want you to catch me
I want you to let me
Stand up here and walk on my own

I was hoping to see some of your work around here, Michele! This was really good....and you've got it right, right there at the end.....just accept and love yourself and everything else falls into place. Welcome back!

awesome job!

Love is giving him the ability to break your heart...but trusting him enough to know he won't.

Hi!!!!  I've missed you!  I feel like I haven't talked to you for sooo long.  You know whats funny, my bestfriend and i were just discussing the general idea of this poem the other day.  That lost feeling.  I know how it feels.  I think everyone goes through it.  If they don't, something's wrong haha  Anyway, so good to read something from you again, keep in touch!
