Lost Identity

When they ask me "Who are you?" I seem to draw a blank I dont know how to answer And I dont know what to think I try to come up with something But there are no words to describe The way I feel meaningless to this world Like a sail boat is meaningless to kansas I feel lost and confused Not sure what it is im supposed to do I have my reasons to feel this way Yet I cant name one I feel like Im suffocating In this world With no purpose in life No direction And no understanding of who I really am I try to speak my mind but no words come out I want to tell them who I want to be But that doesnt answer the question I dont know who I am And I dont know if I ever will So when they ask me "Who are you?" I tell them "I dont know"

Felicity, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) HAPPY HOLIDAYS. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
