i wish i could make something beautiful ,
something absolutely flawless ,
that brings people to tears
is that too much ?
i doubt i’m able to do anything like that though ,
i lack the confidence or perfection needed .
or maybe i lack the imperfection ?
i struggle as these words hit this paper ,
they don’t flow the way they used to .
writer’s block , or something more ?
a blockage of soul , of life ?
i don’t know what i’m missing ,
or maybe i do , it’s hard to tell .
my brain doesn’t work the way it used to ,
it’s all filled with the things that no longer define me .
but yet they’ve stayed implanted ,
and i have no idea how to remove them .
my adventure has yet to begin ,
or maybe it’s reaching a turning point ?
i struggle to find what i’m looking for ,
what i want to do , or have , or learn .
does this even make sense ,
do i even make sense ,
does anything even make sense ?
i wish i knew the answer ,
i wish i knew how to make things right ,
i wish i knew how to end .
i’m afraid to stop my fingers writing
because what if the magic stops there ?
the amazing flow of words that i have come across ,
i’m afraid that that will end .
abruptly , carefully , horribly .
does that make sense ?
tell me the story of your life ,
while i still struggle to find mine .
can you comprehend what i’m getting at ?
will anyone even read this ,
look over these words and think ,
damn , why do i feel the same way ?
or maybe they’ll just call me another
angst - ridden teenager ,
just another child looking for attention .
but that’s not the case .
or maybe it is , i don’t know .
this is going in all different directions ,
i don’t know how anyone can still be following ,
or maybe no one was following in the first place ?
maybe no one cares ,
or maybe everyone cares .
i swear this is just full of contradictions ,
but i think somehow they work .
did i just define life there ?
a mass of things that don’t make sense ,
but yet they all fall together
in some crazy perfect bundle ?
wow if this has turned into a cliche .
i think that’s my cue to stop ,
before this just becomes way too corny .
thanks for struggling with me .
