Wandering In Life

Lost in the turbulent waves of life
Crashing down on her soul
Perpetual sadness continues
To wash over losing control

Insatiable craving for love
Seems impossible to fill
Any form of attention 
Gives her a temporary thrill

Inflicting self destruction
Is her only form of control
So many of her secrets untold

Whispers of the past
Remind what she wants to forget
Blurs of memories play incessantly
Which Happen to only be regrets

Wondering if she can ever find resolution
And piece within get shattered heart
She wanders the world
Looking for any form of a start

Sofia,, 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 :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

A very sou-searching poem, Sofia. Powerful self-analysis and self-awareness. That's a good start, seeing and declaring things honestly to oneself. I love this debut poem. May God comfort your heart in these trying times. Love and peace to you.

I like this poem, Sofia. There is a feeling that life has not been too kind to the author, but she hasn't thrown in the towel, as she looks for a new start. May she find the love and happiness that she craves for! ~ Welcome to Soup...poetry can be the right medicine for a shattered heart:) Regards // paul
