Myself

chasing after it

I have no idea where I am

it led me astray

I don't know if I'll be back

It's getting foggy

my vision's becoming impaired

but I can't just leave it here

I have to have it

Did it sneak into the trees

off of this dark path

sometimes I can feel it

getting closer every time

not to come back to me

but as to toy with me

as much as I hate it

I refuse to leave it behind

Running through this dark forest

going in blind

might not come back

just to find myself

I don't like it, but here it is.

Mysterious and deep interesting write you have here. I like how you ended it:
"might not come back
just to find myself"

Also really like the beginning first stanza, how you are searching for yourself as your title states "Myself". Powerful and emotional write.

That's the spirit. Our poems, once complete and created are their own unique individual entities. And we let go of them whether or not we really like them. To me that shows respect and fairness, giving it a chance to be its own poem and face its own adventures. Thanks for sharing.

I'm confused as to why you don't like it - it's a well written and highly descriptive piece. Very mysterious and suspenseful. I get the feeling that you aren't really sure what you were writing about, which is possibly why you don't rate it, but whatever your own inspiration, motivation and knowledge of the subject, it has led to a really interesting end product.

I think it has a touch of mystery behind the words. Sounds perfectly fine, it feels as if there is something in the woods waiting for you.

I love it. It has lots of mysterious, keep up the amazing work

[Becky C Strukamp]

Searching and finding who you are, wondering of you like who you are, should you leave you behind and treasure your find. This is an excellent self awareness poem. I loved it.

People always think that the most painful thing is losing the one you love in your life. The truth is that the most painful part is losing yourself in the process of loving so much then realizing it wasn’t really worth it at all.
