Who I Want To Be

by ßeAuTiFuLlY~bRoKeи   Mar 1, 2006


Trapped inside my thoughts again
Staring at the wall
All this time I tried so hard
But I only ever fall
Dare you try to pick me up
Just be warned I'm born to fail
Careful what your getting into
And what it might entail
I know I'm heading for the worst
Or at least it seems that way
I'm hanging on but barely
Still I hope you'll choose to stay
Because I need you more then anything
And I want to change my life
Move on from the past I'll always regret
And throw away the knife
Yes giving up looks easier
But I'm not saying I won't try
It's just so hard to see the hope
That's hidden in the lie
I hope I haven't failed you yet
Though it's what I always do
I want things to be different
I just want to be with you
Maybe here's the turning point
And where I get back on my feet
To become the person I know I can
And who I want to be

    I can really relate to this whole poem. I first read this poem a few weeks ago while reading your poems and I fell in love with it. The meaning of it really means something to me. I love your writing as well. It's kinda inspired me to write myself. I've gone through a lot and i've been cutting. And just like your poem says about throwing away the knife, i've taken up this whole writing thing as a better way to deal with hurt.
