What the world sees is not me It sees what i wish for them to view Facades mingled into one Personality that's thought to be mine Inside I doubt so much about me I look at life and wonder how it happened That I so tall, so big, so smart allegedly Could be so weak and afraid Where is the core to me? What is it that I truly am? Will I ever be free and loved? Or am i destined to unhappiness Where's the courage and The strength I need to fight Where's the brass i used to have Where'd it go and when did it leave. Part is missing you understand Many years vanished inside Locked tight and deep within The mind refuses to yield. Is what i describe for real? Or is it only my perception That what's happening within Is my mind practicing to deceive? Must break free of this dependence On others to make me feel Worthwhile inside and happy It's the cruelest facade of all. "You can't reason with your heart; it has it's own laws and thumps about things which the intellect scorns." ~ Mark Twain |

Depth, honest pain, and the search for the core of self. I loved this writing and shall save to reflect upon many times, I am sure. I thank you for posting it. Your depth is outstanding. I compliment you!  After years of searching, I have found I am nothing more, nothing less...I am in truth Just A Woman after all. |

Enjoyed reading your poem...Are you saying we must find our own worth independent of our relationships with others? James |
