Myself

I was just a nomad,
Walking along the streets,
With a broken heart,
An enervated mind,
And, a forlorn soul,
Searching for life.

I walked, walked all over,
In search of bliss,
In search of content,
In search of pride,
In search of life,
Alas! I just found nothing.

Looking around me,
I found no paradise,
I found no sanctity,
I found no peace,
I found no esprit,
Rather an empty space.

Finally jaded, I sat on my knees,
A single drop of sweat,
A single beat of heart,
A single thought of realization,
Opened gates to the world of all,
The joy I found within "Myself".

Search and found I like how you take us through the steps and then you single out every drop every beat that makes us as a whole.
Excellent piece well done

[Sofia N]

This is very beautiful and touching. And sometime by being by yourself you get to know and you get to see things about yourself that you probably didn't know they existed there. Like your message was nice. I loved the words you chose and I love the story in it. Very good job, Keep it up huns :)

[JENY]

Good….That is enough…
That is the truth…..
For peace and happiness you never search outside….
It is within you….
Nice reading…….
I like it….

The form and flow of this piece is brilliant, let along the impact of your message. So well done!

[Doreen]

A search for something that was inside all along. It starts off forlorn and sad, and then punches in the end.

[A.Lee]

This is really good! I love the concept of searching and searching and then realizing you can find joy in you own self. I also really liked the way you wrote each stanza, with the middle lines all being the similar ("In search of bliss, / In search of content, / In search of pride, / In search of life" Very well written piece.
