Feel Alive

A Poem by Vitalized Ego

It's not that easy living the life I pictured in my head.

Actually, It didn't even go according to how I imagined it to be.

It was the complete opposite.

It took its twist and turns, ups and downs.

The struggles have been endless.

Is it for a specific reason? Maybe.

I know that I have been growing from the experiences.

Maybe when my real happiness and responsibilities come along,

I'll be prepared?

But why does this heart still feel so hollow?

No matter how much I distract myself, this pain just won't disappear.

I feel oblivious to my own thoughts and feelings.

Is it longing for the love it seeks? Compassion? Importance?

Family? Or lonesome?

Whatever the case, I'm healing. It's taking some time, but I'm getting there.

I'm strong. I pick myself up when life throws its obstacles at me.

I'm my own best friend.

With or without friends, I will continue to live.

I wake up each day with new opportunities, I just have to open my eyes and reach out for them.

I gotta give this heart of mine some rest as well.

There's a reason it's taking so long to find the key to it.

It's time to live and smile.

And to feel alive.

This was really good and i think most people could relate to your piece in one way or another. I felt all happy inside when it was coming toward the end starting from "I'm healing" and the atmosphere you created of wonder and the idea's that builded up were executed very well. Excellent job! :D
