Sometimes when I’m lost inside,
I look to see where I could be…

And I find myself,

I find myself in compact mirrors and cover up
I find myself in new diets and tight clothes
I find myself in everything I’d hoped to be

I find myself in report cards and percentages
I find myself in red pen and white out
I find myself in everything I’d hope to attain

I find myself in double takes and harsh stares
I find myself in snide remarks and fake comments
I find myself in everything you think I am

I find myself in hopes and dreams
I find myself in broken promises and silent expectations
I find myself within you, within me…

And finally, an epiphany,

I’d rather be lost

And this little masochist, she's ready to confess

Hah! The ending made me really chuckle. Thanks for that.

This is rather well-composed, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great work, Lisa.

The ending made me laugh as well. I like this poem, too. There just seems to be something about your work... and now I sound like a stalker from a low budget, poorly written movie....LOL. Seriously though, I like your work, so (as long as you don't mind

) please keep up the good work, and I'll be sure to come back once and a while and read it.

After Love comes Pain, then Love, Then Pain, then Love, then Pain..... does anyone else see a pattern here? Oh well, can't say it's not worth it.
