Is This What My Life Is

When I close my eyes I try to understand, all that I will never understand. To see the invisible line that divides. Like the lines that define; Passing and failing, Amateurs and Professionals, Being lost and being found, Knowing who you are, and what you were. I look inwards, deep inside what I am, To understand why it doesn't matter- that much to me. Yet, I realize that it was all- I ever wanted and needed. I look back at all the times that- I never really tried hard enough. And all the times where I did- and it didn't matter anyways. All the times I cried and nobody knew. All the days I woke up wishing I were someone new. And yet still I try, to heal this wound deep inside. To bridge its divide and seam the line. 11/30/15

Introspective and a calling for us all to look inside - well done. Wondering why - division, it didn't matter, didn't try harder, ... Keep it up

Every day, I'm seeing how poetry is one of the most healing tools humans have to use. And, isn't it odd how so many of us who've been wounded automatically use poetry as an outlet? As far a your poem reads, the pain and void, the separation from others rings loud and clear.... So, keep writing. Well done.
