Mute


Days, weeks and months collide

I'm starting to forget who I am inside

Not sure what to think or feel

Wondering if I'm even real

 

Finding new ways to hide

Fears still reside

Helpless in every way

Pushing through another day

 

 

So sore and weak

Can't find the words to speak

With my reflection, a constant debate

Determining my fate

 

If actions speak louder than words

How come I'm never heard

If my mind could be read

You would see all the things I would have said

 

I need a revelation

Some conversation

Break the barrier

To explore my interior

 

I want to be free

I want you to know me

My true personality

A wonderful life that would be

Hello, I'm a 25 year old student that is currently taking a semester off to collect necessary funds in order to continue college in the Fall of 2015. I am a graduate of Erie Community College in Williamsville, NY. I have worked at Tops (grocery store) for a little over 2 years. I took what I thought would be a short break from school after graduating High School, which then turned into a rather long break. I regret the time I have lost but I am also thankful for that time because it has given me a chance to grow and truly find myself and figure out what I want out of life. I have many interests and a few constant hobbies. I am passionate about creative writing, photography, and being healthy by means of proper nutrition and exercise. I plan on working towards a Bachelor's Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics in hopes of becoming a registered dietician. I am very interested in figuring out the right diet for certain health problems that may arise. I find myself giving others advice and offering my help in any way that I can and I believe having a career in dietetics would be really rewarding in many aspects of my life. I am often quiet and some say that I'm shy but it's really an internal battle I have fought for many years and some time soon, I hope to have victory. I may be someone of few verbal words but my mind is full of novels and wisdom beyond my years. I use poetry and other writing to let my inner personality out when I get the chance. My main goals in life are to be successful and have inner peace, knowing that I have accomplished great things and have made a difference in people's lives and in the world.
