I'm Just Trying

(This is quite a rough draft, It was literally a string of thoughts that popped into my head when I was making a sandwich. I wanted to put them down on paper/screen just to see what they looked like. It's a working process hehe)

I'm not perfect.
That's something I've never professed to be,
I'm not some famous poet with words woven of gold,
I don't have all the answers and I definitely don't do what I'm told.
But damn it I am trying, trying to be something.
Trying to be anything.
Just something in the dark.
For something much sadder than imperfection is giving up altogether.
I may not know what I'm searching for,
I don't even know where to look, where to begin.
But if I find it, I'll let you know.
Because I'm going to be the best something in the dark you've ever seen.

I'm a people pleaser, a nerd and a little bit of a sweetheart with a dark mind.

Living!

Sometimes the world seems big and brash, A ripping, roaring tide- Of shouts and yells and craziness, From which I want to hide.

I Am...

I am strong because I know my weakness. I am beautiful because im aware of my flaws. I am fearless because I learnt to recognise illusion from reality. I am wise because I learn from my mistakes.

I BELIEVE INTRODUCTIONS ARE IN ORDER...

My name is Linda, and I'm a human being. What that means exactly, I have no idea, apart from the obvious ten fingers, forty six chromosomes and relatively high intelligence. Or so I hope.

Sometimes I find myself asking, "am I really different in a special way?" This question came up again today. I'm not really all that special, I don't have very good talents.

For @damoambrose and @Stablish. I was once laid, huddled in my wings all black,. Wrapped up tight, no gentle light at my back,. Scribbles hidden in a notebook all tied up,.
