Something we had to write for creative writing class.

I am empty & so beautiful.
I wonder about "the one"... is there such thing?
I hear a thousand voices, all telling me something different.
I see pepole fall apart; some stand up again, some do not.
I want to go back to being blissfully unaware of the truth.
I am empty & so beautiful.
I pretend it doesn't hurt as much as it really does.
I feel lost, at a fork in the road, a thousand dark paths before me.
I touch one hundred white marks that will never fade... and I regret...
I worry about thier futures, my future, my failures.
I cry to drain myself of feeling, so I can sleep at night.
I am empty & so beautiful.

I understand now that I CAN'T quit this early in life.
I say "no one ever said this was going to be easy."
I dream about a future that seems so out of reach.
I try to believe that eventually, it'll ne okay. Not perfect, just okay.
I hope that love really is all you need.

I am empty & so beautiful.

Author's Note

there was an outline providing the first two to three words of each line and we had to fill it in. Also, Empty & so beautiful is from jack off jill. i couldn't think of anything else.

I think this is awesome particularly given that you had to use some one else's words in particular places...
I think there is a One.. and at times there is a "one for that time" The old saying "people come into our lives for a reason , a season or a lifetime"...I also think that it reflects the struggle of every younger generation as they start to come into their own and take over the mess their predecessors left them... We say it is worse now than ever...perhaps.. But i think you have hit a universal theme.. I think all younger generations search fro meaning throughout history as they come into their own and begin to take up the mess their elders have left behind... the search for inner meaning begins on a high level.. A lot of good stuff here!

It was beautiful, and I found it easy to relate. There were a few spelling errors here and there, but nonetheless a magnificent piece.
