I am afraid,
Of myself,
What I can do,
Where I will go,
What lays ahead,
The things that I don’t yet see,
I am scared,
Of what I am becoming,
Where I am going,
Why I am doing, being, moving,
I am terrified,
Of what I will find,
When I delve within,
The depths of myself,
The crevices, the darkness,
The bottom of the sea that I hold in my being,
I’m afraid of my limits,
The point where I can go no more,
When my weakness steps out into the world,
Anyone can look,
Judge,
Do I want,
To know the extent of my abilities?
To know the full potential I have?
To discover my place,
Of greatest extent?
Is there such a place,
Burdening… me,
Or does this lie just sit,
In a worried corner of my mind?
There is no finish line,
Final words the the tale,
End,
There is just,
My fears,
The limits I place upon myself,
And me,
No beginning, no end,
Just me

Deep Thinkings
It's time we start thinking about our lives
This is truly wonderful! … truly. : ] Keep up this writing! you are rockin it! – <3
Much appreciated! And i love your poetry as well as a matter of fact!
Reframe your thinking. The inward journey is as exciting as the outward one-another universe to explore. A universe within a universe. Double the pleasure if you are willing to make the trek.
I know that, but at the time of my writing this piece, I was feeling very frightened with hitting walls that could not be passed (which really isn’t true).
A good poem is personal to the author and also fits the perspective of it’s readers. I didn’t feel like it showed what you were thinking becuase I can’t see you through the words. Exactly like your graduation speech.
But good job, I guess in the real world it doesn’t matter anyway and its good writing none the less. eh?
I suppose anyone can have their opinions, as we all have our opinions and it’s a part of life. Perhaps I’m not my same self as a poet.
Maybe having opinions doesn’t have to be a part of life. Maybe one can be a human being without having opinions, or judgments, or a perspective? Maybe they’d be a meaningless void of knowledge, always trying to be better, always ahead of the next person, and always behind by what their afraid of?
I think we do eventually move on beyond opinions and judgments, but based on the places we are in life, I would conclude that it’s not yet a real concern… there is plenty more that I think deserves more of our attention.
Loved this poem..expresses the chaos which we all at some point in our lives have in our heart and in our heads ! And I wish you lots of encouragement in your journey of thoughts ..:) Nice to have explored your blog
Thanks, I hope that you stick around, I have some great poetry for the future.
