Finding Myself Poems

Finding Myself


All day
I have been 
searching
for myself.
And there I was,
unobtrusive,
watching on,
keeping quiet
under a loud
chatter of thoughts.
I quite often
get lost.

Finding Myself, Finally

This year, my one and only goal,
Is to uncover the layers of my soul.
To sift through the wreckage, mend what I find,
To unlearn the chains that still bind my mind.

From echoes of trauma, from shadows of fear,
I’ll build a new path that feels sincere.
I’ll grow through the lessons my past has sown,
And heal the parts

Finding Myself

Finding myself again 
My mind is awash in uncertainty.
I feel terror welling up in my heart.
I do, however, see that I must escape.
I was so relieved to re-discover myself.
I'm trying to have the guts to be who I am.
In order to muster the courage to be strong,
I want to be the person I was supposed

Finding Myself

I spent years
Trying to get you to 
See me for who I am.
But you only looked at me 
And saw what I wasn't.
So I tried to change 
So your see me for once,
Really see me.
I tried to do anything
For you 
But still you 
Couldn't see me for who I was. 
So I gave up trying.

Finding Myself

I look back in the abyss of conscious,
I numbered my seven lives as cat.
Each time I fall, I lost part of motions,
I left speechless, breathless and red. 
In all those diving and labyrinths 
my presence was hiding invisible.
But then I rise up again, charming,
with new truths and principles.
I grew up each time almost dying,
my old

Who Do I Miss

Ferrying in the ocean of my thoughts,
I happen to see the dreams that I lost.
All alone and sailing on an endless ocean,
Deafening screams emanating from my lesion.
A moonless night that takes me away,
With nothing but pain leading the way.

I see a glint of light,
A radiant bird in flight.
I row to the end of the tunnel

Everchanging, Everlasting

uncertainty settles in
hesitation hath be fallen upon us
they say if something scares you
it’s meant to happen
the compass is twirling out of control
i have no sense of direction
can only trust myself
but it’s okay, i suppose
i have lost all notions of finding
“The One”
i’m letting the waters take me
where I need to be
i believe in the feeling, the

Premium MemberFinding Myself Where I Never Thought

Being a loner liking my own company
this being my early life was so shy
stammered too made me so insecure
liked my own self but my life was why?

Moving on till the mid 20s where was I?
stay in nights listen to Dory Previn music
not heading in any real direction
made one think and ponder to lose it

Started to

Finding Myself

I had went looking for myself
Searching the places I'd hide
I thought I could ever hear 
Her innocent muffled cry

I looked in every room 
And behind every looked door
I felt she was waiting on me
Desperately wanting something more

I got lost in my prison 
In its walls that twist and turn
The deeper I went in
My skin would

Me, by my self 
standing
alone
searching self 
powerfully.
I am
beside myself.
Aside from 
myself there’s 
no-one 
looking
deep within 
to know me
intimately.
Finally, I find 
myself there
inside of self.
I be …soul, mind,
heart and spirit;
Manifested 
poetry. 
You really can’t see me 
unless you read me.

Finding Myself

Eureka! 
My buffoonery has been found!
My gullible lies buried them down.
Extraordinary was this find.
With joy I almost lost my mind.

My heart fills with empathy,
For those who feel empty.
Depression weights the soul.
Ubiquitous, it takes it's toll.

I am, again filled with light.
It shoots out from me, a spectacular delight.
Out of the darkness, now I see.
I was

Finding Myself

I don’t fit in the crowd I stand out,
So I’m excluded can't hangout,
Every single day without a debate,
People are always gunna hate,
They will  also alienate!
So why do I try so hard to be accepted?
When that only leads to me being rejected!
The fact is I'll always be an outcast,
The kid that always gets picked last.
But
