Some words

[startootsie]

How do we relax when our body's need to? How do we find balance? How do we find ourselves? All this addictions we hang onto cause we can't face the pain. All this judgement and hurtful words being spilled like drops of rain! To give this love you seek you must love yourself. All this confusion, we're told what we should be, but the answer lies deep inside the place we're most scared to see. What is right from wrong? Who means good or harm? If we go on in life focusing on the nagetive we are creating this pain we can't seem to leave.

Thank you for listening!

Here are some more words:

Unwrapped from society
We stand alone
So we choose to be a clone oh
We live to learn
We follow what was taught without a second thought
This seems the only route
Well I’m tired of these lies
It’s time to live
It’s now I can breathe
No more lock’s with hidden keys
In this world I am now free

Where are you now
Have you listened?
Deeeepppp
Deep inside
Nowhere else will you find
This peace that you cry for
Only deep-deep inside can you be free

All this sacrificing-oh
Just to feel complete
But you never look inside at what is really deep
All these people saying what they want you to be
Never get a chance to stop and think
Is this me
Now I’m crying
Cause I’ve caused myself this pain
Now I feel like I’m dying
Now I can feel
I can breathe
Without you
I’m free

It’s this poison that has ripened the tree
But it leaves you hollow and empty
All this killing
We’re taught is a true belief
Silenced to peace
We’ve gone so deep
Climbing to the surface
You have to look beneath
At the hidden
At the unthinkable
You will see



Thank you!

Beautiful poem, dark but true.. We strive to be what others want us to or we strive for some ideal set by the media.. There is still freedom though, as you say, on the inside and it is the inside that really matters!

Fly forever free..

[startootsie]

Thank you! I like to right about the truth no matter where it goes!

[Nenyath]

That's a good thing too! Without the truth, then what do we have? :rolleyes:

Fly forever free..

[startootsie]

That's a very good question!

[startootsie]

Letting go of things
Wanting to hold on
Times of complete lost memory
It feels it's all going by

I'm standing in this world
Cring to myself
Looking out, and see nothing that will help me
What am I living for in this world?
Is it lies or truth
I've lost this control
Over who I am
Who I knew

I'm letting go of pain
Letting go of past injuries
Letting go of my breaks
The things that destroy me
Looking for a place
Where I can be safe
With no judgement or disoprove
Where freedom is always there my next move

I just wrote it, so it's rough. I thought I'd share it anyway!

Well-known poet Anne Sexton wrote:

"Put your ear down close to your soul, and listen HARD."

Great advice, and just what you are saying. Bravo! Keep listening.
