Lost Girl

Irony and seeing how potential lies, 
what is this hiding behind my eyes,
envy just the birds in the skies
floating through air; so gracefully
or the fish in the sea,
are not like me,
they actually belong;
drifting through clouds of nothingness;
sinking deeper, Numbness takes over.
But I am still breathing as are the birds in the sky
and the fish in the sea
life doesn’t promise sunshine
but i have to take that chance
where is my home, I am lost
what does a shield even serve purpose for?
if not protecting you from this world;
Drenching me, sinking deeper,
One last tear, dissipating faster,
This life was never sufficient,
Clasping my last and final tears,
I say goodbye to all my fears,
In my peaceful mind I belong, 
The elements cant find me here.
But I'll still have life to fear.

Very well written, with intense feelings & good selection of analogies to show us how this feels. I can feel the longing to belong . . . and also the acceptance of solitude, so this also shows us how life & feelings can often be ambivalent.

Wonderful poem. I feel like in a way I can relate to it. And that is awesome when you can touch a reader in that way.

We must go forward. Even with fear and disappointment near.
"I say goodbye to all my fears,
In my peaceful mind I belong,
The elements cant find me here.
But I'll still have life to fear."
I liked the above lines. Knowing fear and trying to live with. Thank you for sharing your excellent poetry. I liked your poetry. Feel of real life and thoughts.
