Despite what a lot of you might think, I am a little bit a of poet, even if I'm not always around to show it
So anyway, I decided to post up my poems here for you all to view.
Have fun reading them!!
Losing Myself / The True Me
I’m losing sight of who I used to be,
Losing sight of the person deep inside me.
The person who used to exist as me,
Has disappeared internally.
My expressions, my thoughts, my words,
Have been swept up like broken glass shards.
Packed and sorted into mental shelves,
Nothing that exists now is the true ‘myself’.
I’ve lost myself because I longed to be,
Someone and something who was not me.
All the things I wished became a part of me,
And I lost my prior existence eternally.
The one you see before you, isn’t me,
It never once was, and never will be.
I’m not being true to myself; I’m losing my soul,
My spirit - my thoughts that once made me whole.
I’m losing myself a little more each day,
I look in the mirror and throw another thing away.
I’m sick of being what I once was,
I want to become someone that everyone awes.
I want to be accepted by everyone,
And shine brighter than the very sun.
I want someone who’s not too near… not too far,
Someone who will say “I love you for who you are,”.
But, alas, I’m losing sight of myself,
I’m losing my image… forgetting my wealth.
Why do I feel the need to be,
Someone who is not exactly me?
Why indeed? Why change now?
Why make that promise to change? That very vow?
Is it because I really want to be,
Something… someone… who is not me?
Let me try… try to become,
The me who once existed – that very one.
The one I threw away to be something new,
The one I threw out to hear the words “I love you,”.
The same one in which you loved once long ago,
The same one in which you grew to know.
Because, let’s face facts, I’ve become who I longed to be,
But that’s not the same person you want to see.
You want to see the one who used to be,
The real person – the true me.

The Road to Nowhere
In the evening light,
I stand upon the boarder of light and dark.
As the sun sets in city backdrop,
The path before me becomes clear.
T’is a road leading into the darkness,
No light guides the way.
The gentle evening breeze tells a story,
Longer than man has ever known.
My heart is waning… standing here,
My resolve is swaying on the boarder.
My mind is wondering how much longer now,
My feet are moving in forwards direction.
It’s a road of nothingness,
A road I’ve never been down before.
Those of us with lonely hearts walk down here,
Dragging our feet as we leave on a journey.
It’s a journey to find true love,
To find true light, buried somewhere in the darkness,
It’s a dangerous journey – a never-ending story,
Which every person must walk once in their life.
Me; I walk this lonely road,
My head hung low, my spirits dead.
My heart is clouded in so much doubt,
I feel nothing as I walk along.
But, in the furthest distance, I chase a light,
A small glimmer in the darkness all around,
The tiniest bit of hope left for me,
I race toward to meet my destiny.
Alas, this light is only an illusion,
Because, love found is never true.
It wanes with time, lost and forgotten,
And in love there is no “infinity”.
I walk down this road of broken dreams,
I walk down this road of lost hope.
I walk down this road with nothing left,
I walk down this Road to Nowhere.

Nowhere to Turn
I have nowhere to turn,
No place to go.
No place I can call my home,
I am alone.
I sit here in this dark corner,
Sulking to myself and just wondering.
What life might’ve been like if I hadn’t been here?
I will wait there pondering.
And as the sun sets over this dying city,
And the moon begins to shine through.
I realise my life is much more important to me,
And I am worth existence too.
I have no right to even think,
Of what this world might’ve been like.
If I wasn’t here or I hadn’t existed,
I will step towards the light.
And I will grasp your hand closely in mine,
And I will thank you for it all.
For convincing me that life truly is worth living,
And that I will never fall.
And so with these happy words spoken,
I await the brand new morn.
This day will be a lot more brighter,
With you to see me through it all.
So anyway, I decided to post up my poems here for you all to view.
Have fun reading them!!
