finding myself


With each passing night came a day gone We were drooled on forever Forever was too far away Questions of being nothing without you Ask me again on my balcony I wonder what went wrong But I know this is right Pushing through the motions But my body is motionless This is a mental test That I studied from the rest Familiar pain to the heart only in the dark I will face the dark without you I forgave you but will forget you in the end Each passing day grows heavier on my shoulders With hate rid remorse and revenge Waiting on someone to take you away Walking faster out the tunnel with each breath Seeking the dream you’re nowhere to be found Taking my one way ticket to that uncharted destination Where my memories will be only waste Name and face erased Your line has been drawn My dream will turn into reality When I figure out who I am Baby I’m looking in the mirror Confused as to what you made me I pray this doesn’t last forever I only want to do what I was meant to do Isn’t that a bitch I knew you were bad

jwiener
This is such a powerful poem, because it really makes the reader think about how the people we know do not make us who we are, but rather it is up to us to make ourselves into the person that we wish to be. My favorite line is "My dream will turn into reality / When I figure out who I am" because once you discover who you wish to be, everything will fall into place.
