Finding Myself

Finding Myself

A Poem by emily joe
"

This is basically how I came to love myself again. In these very words, I was able to come to a point where I appreciated myself. Life is too short to be lost for too long. Enjoy!

"

I once believed in magic, in a world where grass grew green

I once lived in a fairytale, lullabies heard, and miracles seen

 

I once blew with the wind, fell with the leaves, and into love

I once picked flowers in an empty field, and kissed the clouds above

 

Until the day I lost myself, in a maze of hide n' seek

The glitter slowly faded, as I washed away like stones in a creek

 

I put away my smiles, and hid my hugs up on a shelf

You'll never truly live, until you've looked, and found yourself

That was highly inspirational and such profound thinking... I think we all need a bit of the Peter pan syndrome before life puts us six feet under... They say we teach kids but I think kids can teach us so much more.
