Myself

Copyright © by Anne Elizabeth, 1998

So here I sit wondering..
So many thoughts keep racing through my mind..
Thoughts of what I want to be..
Of What I should be
and simply what I am

I find myself lost inside a maze of people
looking for the one to tell me a little something of myself
But as long as I search I come up with nothing..
For I'm looking in the wrong places to find me

The more I talk to the different people
the more turns I make to lead me deeper in to darkness..

Losing the light inside myself
I grow annoyed with the situation
and a I fall onto the ground and close my eyes..
Crying out into the night..
I listen for an answer..
but all that falls about my ears is the laughs of the people who have gathered
around to watch .
So I run yet deeper
taking wrong turn after wrong turn
Until I stop and look around..
and find myself trapped inside a dark maze of unkind friends..

So I sink to knees to cry..
and wonder why this has come of me

"I simply stay in this space until answer is told to me" I whisper to myself

so I still find myself trapped inside this maze of people..
none of them stop to help
but only stop to stare
I become annoyed with this fact
and get up and start walking along the trying paths..

I begin to notice more light shining down
lighting my way
I stopped asking for directions
and simply followed my way
