Searching for wisdom in a sea of lies

CATEGORY

just different

I have been trying to find myself.

Trying to crack open the codes of my being that I can hardly understand.

I have not located her yet.

I have been awakened to loss

I am confused

I am angry

I drifted across seas

And still did not find myself

I meditated at the holiest temples

But still cannot trust myself

I am a being that I cannot understand

I have been lost for some time now

I've drifted across naked planets to see what loneliness looks like in physical form

I've kissed stars that never caught my name

I've trapped myself into my own prison of a body

Placed a semi-automatic gun around my form

I've dared a bi**h to try me

Who am I becoming?

I do not know myself

At times I feel so alone and confined

So I drift away from this land and into my thoughts

I tell no one

I am solitary

I don't want to be

I've tried to express myself

I've tried to be open

I've tried to be loving

What do I do with this knowledge that I have obtained?

How do I begin to teach it?

I am afraid

I am a pillar of self doubt

Risen from a bed of lies

Unsure of which direction

But sure that I don't want to go back

I've written poems in the clouds

Haiku's from the mountains

Whispered into the land of my youth

Searched for the warmth of my ancestors

I want to be  close

Hear my language

Speak my native tongue

Who am I?

Once I dreamt of freedom

Flashing lights and destruction

I was filled with it all

Love

Laughter

Crying

Pain

I felt it all at once

It hit me

Drove itself into my chest

Found it's way to my heart

And Lived there

Settled in and raised a family

And their children moved into my brain

I fight demons in my sleep

Drift into unknown lands

And when I am awakened I do not remember them

I want to steal what I find

Tuck them away into my heart so that I can remember them

I need to remember them

I need to hug them

I need to breathe into them

Let them smell the coconut conditioner on my hair

Let them see that I am still here waiting

Drifting with age and soaking in wisdom, I am still here

I love

I hurt

I cause pain

I cause strife

I am human

I am strength

But I have not found her.

I am searching for wisdom, in a sea of lies.

Tali_sosweet, pardon my "typo errors" . Charge it to the head and not my heart. It was just an urgency to reply to such an introspective write. Again, Peace and Love, Write on! mlowe

Mlowe no need for the apology, I received the message and understood perfectly what you were saying. I always appreciate the feedback, it's encouraging. I'll be hitting a milestone this coming March and i'm learning that wisdom is like gold, but can also be rare these days. Much respect, love and peace to you brother.
