Find Myself Between the Lines

I read to escape reality
go to places I never can
with my own two feet
I read to become my dreams
that I can never fulfill
I read to become the person
I dream to be

But when I write,
I become myself
I find who I truly am
between the lines

Author's Note

Found myself pondering on who I truly am

great insight for a young person. wonderful thoughts. but remember, they also say that "if you can think it, you can do it". keep writing, i liked this.

[Grey Evanescent]

thank you very much! yeah, I'll keep that in mind. :D

i teach writing classes, and what so many students find out is what you express here...their writing reflects their inner selves...they learn about themselves from what they write...

i really like this...

What a profound poem for one so young
Keep it up. Do get out and about though, the world is still a beautiful place .... before they wreck it completely!

[Grey Evanescent]

thanks a lot! yep, the world is beautiful.

I suggest you place 'own' in the first stanza in the line regarding your feet. That way the beat and count in that stanza stays consistent. Its a very nice poem despite that small discrepancy.

[Grey Evanescent]

Thanks! Suggestion appreciated! :D

[AshlynnStyx]
