Myself

I am trying to find this person inside of me.
I think she's living but it's kind of hard to see.
I've been trying to find my family.
But I guess that I don't need one right now.
I wanna be special and have lots of friends that
will keep my secrets and won't leave me.
But I guess that's hard to have when you're the one
that is always running.
I wish that I was alright.
That I could really say that everything is fine without
my voice cracking.
Yes I still have these flaws and I love them all.
I just wanna be the picture perfect girl you always see.
I wasn't kidding when I said that everything is gone.
But I wasn't lying when I said that everything is alright now.

I can semi-relate to this piece. Finding oneself can be such a long, intricate process. Atleast you can love your flaws, thats definitely a good thing. Nice write.

Nothing is ever ok...nothing is ever alright. There are those moments in our lives where we feel completely lost and almost like, naked. As if we have nothing to hide from anyone, but so desperately want to. Only finding shelter within those close friends we can count on. Look to those friends, and even when a friend and you are going through a rough time, dont think that they won't be there for you. Cause if they arent there for you, even if you are goin through a rough patch, they really dont deserve to be friends with a person like you. Flaws or not, you are a perfect person all your own. No one is "perfect". What is perfect anyway? I have never once known a "perfect" person in my life.
Being the one always on the run is also a good thing. Just means you are quick on your feet and are always one step ahead of everyone else.
This poem was written very well and had some touching words. It's written the way I probably would've written it, but I can't find the words for something as deep as this. Great write. Keep writing! You're great at it. Don't waste your talent.
