Angie Thomas Poet I do not know?

I Think I'M Losing Myself

I think I'm losing myself.
The girl I was,
is not the woman I have become.
Somewhere between high school and university.
Sometime between naiive belief, 
and bitter disillusionment,
I think I lost the spark in my eye.
Words don't create music in my heart anymore.
My thoughts don't flow like they used to.
As i bury my feelings further and deeper within,
words have lost their magic in my heart.
But I'm hoping to start again.
This woman, as she makes a feeble attempt.
Hopefully who I am today,
will weave music with her words again...

DM Babbit April 17, 2016 at 10:25 AM I think, no, I know we all lose ourselves at varied times in life. I believe it is because we have an inner unknown need to take the next step forward and find ourselves again. Now, after some seven decades, I am looking once again, sure by past past experiences, to fond yet another self, lost and misplaced but still, alive. You are not alone in your search.

Have a grat day. Hugs, Angie

Paul Callus April 16, 2016 at 4:57 PM Change and disillusion often go hand in hand, Angie! I have been there, and it could be hard to cope with, but life is no magic garden. You are still young and experiencing new things; dreams and aspirations will not all come true, but if you try hard enough you'll realize that you have the strength and ability to make many of them come true:) Look to the future with hope and faith...life has a lot more to offer!! ~ Regards // paul Angie Thomas April 16, 2016 at 6:00 PM Thank you Paul, for your words of wisdom :) i am so glad you took the time to read my poem. hugs, Angie :)
