How I Am As I Make It

I drown my sorrows in music.

I bury my boredom in books.

I turn to my pets as they are my only friends.

I hide in the back as not to be seen.

I prefer to be mute rather than be chatty

I try to say sorry when I mean it.

I never bother to smile unless needed.

I feel alone and depressed.

I don't have true friends as I seemed to chase them away.

I try to be happy when I can.

I am a monster in my own world.

I drag myself down and don't take the hands that are there.

I tend to put myself in the dark, hidden from my thoughts.

I write as an escape from the life I know.

I dream of the best for everyone around me.

I dream big of the things I can do.

So I drown my sorrows in music, bury my boredom in books, and stay quiet as I please.

This is not who I want to be, but I am changing from that person I am today.

Do not think of me as a depressed person,

think of me as the happy woman I am changing into.

This is not the end, but a start of something new.

Each step, every new foot print in the sand carries the soul to a bright and better place. This piece takes us through what one doesn't want to be and sheds light in the end, that change can be made and the progress is an attainable thing in this world.
May there be much hope and light upon the new paths that you trek upon.
