Paradise

I sit there watching the world go by,

How selfish could I have been to not notice,

Notice the beauty is presents with open arms,

As I sail away I feel like I do not exist,

For some reason that brings me sadness,

I thought I would finally feel free.

 

Why? I am not really sure...

Maybe because I feel as if I will be forgotten,

I feel not good enough,

A tear falls from my eye.

 

Finally I shed some kind of emotion,

Ive felt numb with emotion all this time,

It was as if I had no heart, that it was frozen,

I feel anger rush through me,

Not at anyone, but at myself,

How could I have been so cold hearted.

 

 

I write on a peice of paper of the things I dislike about myself,

I fold the delicate peice of paper into a tiny square,

This time will only come once in a blue moon,

I throw the paper into the ocean and there it sinks.

 

Disinigrating the things that I want to change,

No! That I will change,

I feel weight lift off my shoulders,

This is a new beginning, a new me,

For the better or the worst I do not know,

But Im going to live my life to the fullest and not hold back,

Share the love that I am now willing to share,

Show people how much of a great person I really am,

This is the greatest feeling I have ever felt,

Knowing things will change, and that I will change into a better person.

 

I shall carry that feeling with me always, and show that I am not afraid to live.

For I have been so blind and finally have been awakened by realization.

Ive been holding back my soul which is willing to show everyone the best of me.

Ive set it free, and that is the best way to live your life.

Setting yourself free from this prison that has you going mad.

 

I know what its like to beafraid to show your real emotion, and show that you have a heart,

Because your afraid that your heart would be vulnerable and end up broken,

But you must not be afraid for this, because you will be hurting yourself,

Let yourself be free, and let your heart be able to be taken by the person that is willing to love you.
