Something I Need

I need something to base my life upon

Not something that would last quick

But something that would go on and on

Something that would click.

Years go by so fast as time fades away

It's just like what they say

"Going from a good to a bad day"

'Cause sometimes my days are filled with dismay.

Trying my best now, so I can have a great future

'Cause I want tomorrow to be a big adventure

Trying to hold on to a good thing

Hold it real tight.. As long as I can

Not so easy to do, but I do so because a good thing comes and goes

That way my faith of becoming something more, grows and grows

I want to be something big, not this tiny person anymore

That thing I need, is something I'll be able to live for

I need to stop worrying about what others think

I need to start being confident and do my own thing

I wish every time my eyes blink

I could go back, and redo everything

My whole passed been messed up

Now I want a change and have my head up

I'll keep fighting to become who I want to be

'Cause deep inside, I know some day I'll be free

Nothing in this big world is fair

Looking around seems like nobody cares

I'm pretty much on my own

So I'll try my best to be known

That thing I need

Is something big

I don't care if it's miles away

I'll wait till i get closer each day

Wow, this was different than any poem I ever remember reading. It's good, and full of meaning. Quite remarkable, I should say. I feel the same, though. I regret the things of my past but I also am fearful of the future. I want to know what my place is in this world and I, as do many others, struggle to find my way.

Truthfully I pictured myself in this poem. I can relate so much to it. It is definitely a piece that provokes thought and is truly interesting.
