my mind overflows.....
your mind opens up to reveal its dark corners
you find yourself
and wonder who you were before
you wonder why you were pretending.
I have learned things about myself,
just by listening to my own thoughts conjure
I like myself,
but im afriad that others will not.
But who really cares?
Im a beautiful person inside and out.
Im a bigger girl, and Im self concious about it.
But it is myself that must change that.
I accept who I am, and walk with confidence,
and the ability to change.
I don't like being alone.
The restless nights can tear your mind apart.
Insomnia creeps in and you lie awake
wondering why you are awake.
Im a positive person
I have the ability to look at the brighter side of life
tomorrow is another day and
hard times come with life lessons.
Ones you will remember.
Love is beautifully complicated.
I love with all my heart, I leave it open.
It may have a few cuts and bruises, but tis better
to show your true colors, then hide behind the fear
of rejection.
Life moves quickly when you stand still
I am no longer willing to let life pass me by
I have dreams! I have plans to change the world
in some way. I will be heard, I will be remembered.
Little things only blur the big picture.
Life is too short to cry over spilt milk.
Let life smack you around a bit, then youll be ready,
whatever may come your way.
I dont need someone to make me happy.
this may be true, but it definitely makes thoes
hard times, a little less hard.
It makes love all the more beautifully complicated.
Dreams become bigger, as you reach them together.
It makes the little things funny, and kicking lifes ass
more fun.
I found myself
I was lost for a while, not knowing where to look
I almost gave up hope.
You reminded me that I am worth finding.

Fuck them.
You sound in this poem a lot like one of my best friends.
From the weight issue, to the insomnia, to thr positivity, to the inability to be alone...
Thank you to te person that helped you. If you are anything like my friend, then you are a beautiful person indeed. (Only, I don't think she sees it!) -
It was very good. I lvoved the flow, imagery and truth in it.
I'm not seeing how it relates to the picture or writers block-I may just be overseeing it so just tell me how

or it was a picture like it, something similar

Ive seen this picture before, and it has always said to me, I am lost, and time is running out, the picture is blurring, objects distorting. Thats how I see life when I feel lost
