Description dig deeper in yourself.

but what if i find nothing?

.

only me.

there are no dreams, no sledgehammers,
no words, no human
strong enough to break down
the wall i've built
inside of me.

the only one who can
is me.

.

i need a change.

.

there is a world
of things undiscovered,
hiding in empty spaces
and heartbeats.

find me, please,
it says.
find me.

i say:

.

i'll try.

.

sometimes,
i go to stadiums
hoping that i'll get lost
in the sounds,
the voices and shouts and
screams, until i'm not afraid,
not sad. not me. until i'm only

there

.

and then, maybe,
things will be alright.

.

and so far, i have found
trees dead in winter,
fog-filled dreams,
ice melting and day
breaking

.

do you think i'll ever find hope and
happiness
in myself?

you won't know
until you look.

I had to read this three times.
I think I'll read it two more before the night's over.
I wish you could hear how this just left me breathless.

I think you can find happiness within yourself, Alyssa. I really do.
I hope we can find it, and ourselves, together.
Just don't ever give up.

Ahh, I can't even tell you how much I can relate to this. I often find myself looking for who I am, too.

And when they ask me who am I usually find that too troubling of a question.

You gave it the perfect start and an even more perfect ending. Keep writing like this, you're the best

It's always "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
But I've always wondered:
do we ever find happiness or are we always just pursuing?

Beautiful.

the wall i've built
inside of me.

is me.

That one is amazing.
Although in my case, I sometimes find people that don't really break through it. They just find the door to get passed it.
It's scary, but on the other hand, sometimes I'm glad they found the door. At least they didn't mash into that wall.

Amertie In reply to GoalieBagheera [2009-01-26 00:46:37 +0000 UTC]

ahhh.
well. maybe there's a window.
i think i want to break the wall down, though.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

GoalieBagheera In reply to Amertie [2009-01-26 09:00:38 +0000 UTC]

well, some people would want to, that's true. But when you can see through people, that door is easily found, I guess.
Although I won't let people force that door if they found it, if I don't want them to come through.

Why would you want to break the wall down though?
I think if we have a few decent talks together you could pass that door without me even noticing, that's what I think xD

Sielte In reply to ??? [2009-01-24 23:23:13 +0000 UTC]

i went looking inside of me too.
objective: find me.

i lost me somewhere between the time puberty started and now.

but i found me.

so i'm happy now.

i hope you find what you're looking for too.

It does seem a little different that your usual fair, but no less potent

And that's when I found me

Amertie In reply to platinummyr [2009-01-24 22:33:20 +0000 UTC]

much different.
i'm not sure why it came out this way, at all.

[possibly because i didn't write for two days.
and it makes my writing odder.]

platinummyr In reply to Amertie [2009-01-24 22:35:03 +0000 UTC]

mm. i used to do that.
but i haven't stopped in about six months, now. i hope i don't.
i try to write every other day.
and when i don't, it makes it harder to open up again.

Well, yea. I try not to, but I can't just "write" I can 'write' but it's not the same as when it just dumps out of me.

But yeah, I try to not let myself stop, whenever I do get the chance
