I'm trying to understand how I'm feeling,
not quite like myself
like the haze all around on a cool fall morning
I am lost.
I'm trying to understand why I'm dejected,
something that has come about?
Trying to make my way in the world.
I am unclear.
I'm trying to understand what impression I make,
a stranger that walks by...
is it power or insecurities that is seen?
I am delicate.
I'm trying to understand where my strength has gone,
heavy loads no longer lifted.
somehow weakness consumes me
I am defeated.
I'm trying to understand my place in this world,
it is a road I travel alone.
Why this is my fate so secure,
I am unknown.

Been feeling not quite like myself again.

A beautifully haunting piece that strings up the human soul. the first stanza is wonderful, and the questioning made the whole piece a lot more enjoyable. Relatable. Thank you for the read

Inspirational! I know that at times I find myself struggling to understand anothers point of veiw, and you feel like you have a loss of words. But, it's alright in the end, because everyone is struggling with the same concepts.

Lord I ask, you heal her soul
And give her power to withstand
To be in a world, somtimes cold
Where only angels lend a hand
I come to you, just a man
Praying you'll touch her lonely soul
Give her wisdom to understand
And mend her broken heart to whole
And as I ask, a favour of you
Know I'm thankful for my friend
And every chapter in life anew
I'll cherish until the end
From me to you, much love!

i like this... i can relate... i too think of how people see me and whether they are seeing me how i'd like to be seen... and whether how i'd like to be seen really matches how they see me... i hope you find your way... and who you are.... you don't have to follow anyone by any means... but do listen to suggestion... experience things for yourself... make things your own
