Wondering

I wonder often about this and that.
Things most people wonder at.
I wonder often about things I see,
I also wonder "What's wrong with me?"

I cannot paint, I cannot sing,
I wonder "Can I do anything?"
"Of course you can!" my head does cry.
But deep inside my heart does sigh.

For deep I inside, my deepest dream
Can often make me stamp and scream.
Sometimes it seems there's no way out.
Except through hurt and lashing out.

The thing I try to hold so tight
Whether it be wrong or right,
This dream I rarely let you see,
I think you've guessed - this thing is

ME

Meaning Lost

I Am Very Troubled

I am very troubled When I think of things I do, Of ways that I get round walls, Of people I once knew.

Few Days

A few days I was gone from here, And each second I lived in fear. Not that I wouldn't be able to help, No but that I wouldn't be able to try. Still I'm back, For as short as it is.

One Time

Sometimes, I forget. All of who I am. Sometimes, I wish. I didn't give a damn. Sometimes, I know. I shouldn't be a bitch. Sometimes, I mend. My heart with a single stitch. Sometimes, I see.
