wanting to fade

~ just wanting to share this feeling to you my friends...

Wanting to fade…

 

Sometimes I just wanted to fade

Out of sight, but just around

 

To hide and vanished

Or be erased momentarily

To feel my existence in a place

Like I belong

 

Hours, minutes, and seconds passed

The white walls grab me to blend in

To pretend that I am part of something

Other than being out of place

But the dark ribbon that lurks in my eyes

Sheds light of who I am

 

…tired!

 

Perhaps longing to belong,

  Awaits in the far door I fear to go…

I guess we all could feel identified with this poem, somehow, no matter what.
There are times that we don't feel part of something, like we were "wanting to fade"
I do feel identified with it, 'cause sometime I felt this way. It was a time I hadn't find a way, haven't feel confortable where I was.
But times goes by, and I slowly found my way. I'm still not there, but I'm on the way. Finding interesting people, new experiences, bad ones, new places; have learned some things, and forgotten other things.
We use to fear going somewhere, 'cause going somewhere sometimes looks "dangerous", but what whe need to is that we actually need to go some direction to find someplace.
Maybe the ribbon that covers our eyes will never cover the light inside ourselves. I suppose that light will be there as long as we want to, as long as we pursue a dream...

Very cool Dax, I think we all feel this way at times. Kind of like being able to look in on your own funeral to see who attends.

thanks my friend... indeed...

There are many things to ponder in this piece, and much to relate to as well...I long to belong as well, and am perpetually searching for that place where I can feel my existence...I may have found it here though, where I've made many friends and have gotten support beyond anything I could have imagined...hopefully you feel the same way when you're here, as you know you're in the company of friends...great piece of poetic introspection.

wc is the only family/friends and outlet I feel like I belong to... so i am in the company of great friends/family here... This piece was inspired from my reality in this life of mine... thank you so much my friend...
