Fatigue

I'm tired of not knowing who I am. I know that sounds strange and weird and twisted but, believe me, it's unintended. I don't mean to come off dark and brooding but, unfortunately, there's no better way to put it. I'm tired of constantly having to question the type of person I am. The things I'm ok with and those I'm not. The things I like and those I don't. The people I can tolerate and those I can't. Am I just saying or thinking something because I've been conditioned to or is it really what I think?

I know I'm young and that this self-awareness should come with time but I can't wait. I want to find out the type of person I'll be in 5... 10... 15 years... now. Will she still like rock music? Will she think sex before marriage is ok? Will she be religious? Will her favorite color still be red?

This constant soul-searching phase, as I've put it before, is torture for me - someone who always has to know where they're going and who they are. It's like constantly being suspended in mid-air waiting for a change of circumstances or just plain chance to make you change everything you once believed in... or thought you did.

I envy you, people who have themselves all figured out. Every time I question myself, I feel like a person within a person, questioning a stranger I'm still trying to get to know...

Look At Me

Look at me, it's not my true identity I have a covert identity, i wonder if you'd ever see, my thoughts, my deeds are all that makes me but something I may do may not describe me.

Drama

Can individuals combine or must they inevitably collide. Ego, sentiment, intelligence and creativity a haven for paranoia to hide. Be true, be strong, Love thyself and step forward with pride.

Revealed

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,.

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.

I always enjoy your writing. Very thoughtful and considered. I imagine everyone has felt that way at some point. I know I have. Its totally natural.

@pchinnery thank you so much! Such an honor! Always nice to know someone out there has felt the same way at some point - phew! :)
