Lost Within Myself |

I got lost somewhere Along the way to perfection Never staying on the straight Turning wrong Saying what I don't mean Doing what I don't want Knowing in my heart it was wrong I tried to make it right Looking deeply within Seeing the truth Painful, Hurting The ache that won't stop Changing for the wrong Not doing right for the right Knowing until I find the way I must continue to stay Deep within my own mind To endure the darkness again |

I often feel that way too, do you think that's self-torture? |

I often ask myself why do I hurt myself like I do!!!! It's sooo sad and painful!!!! You'd think we'd be true to ourselves!!! You expressed the feelings well!!!! Enjoyed!!!! I do believe it's needless, senseless, self-torture!!!! Bridgette "Somewhere, somehow, it should be possible to touch someone and never let go again. To hold someone, not for a moment but forever."

Hello Bradly Your words were sad yet contained an important message. No matter how much we try to change ourselves to please others, we still can't win. "The only people who are worth being friends with are those who like you just as you are" Take care.......Sue I am in motion |

when we realize what we were and what we need to be that can be painful. Then we have to realize what it takes to get there...ack! you're doin' that....so you're umm...refound! LOL :-) Self-torture...something like that :-) Failure isn't failure if a lesson from it is learned ~ KS |

I believe that for you to have been able to write such insightful words, you are actually finding yourself and are not lost anymore... Learning from the past helps create a new map for us to chart new roads into a brighter future! Love & Light, EA |

If the end of the road is perfection, I think I'll always be lost. Enjoyed this piece - there's a song in it. |

I got lost somewhere Along the way to perfection Ringo, haven't we all, in some way or another? I don't know of anyone on this earth at all who is perfect in every way...from looks to their innermost beings. There is always room for improvement, no matter how perfect a person may think they are. I really like what Suetang said in her reply..... "The only people who are worth being friends with are those who like you just as you are" This is oh so true. We do need to have an unconditional love and try to get along with each other. For a person to have a friend, a person needs to be a friend. "To be in love with love is truly to love".....by Paladin |
