Peace,
peace of mind..
strength and spirit

A sense of calm,
that comes with knowing...
your place

Its been a long time coming
filled with sadness...
struggling for breath
and words expressed to escape

But it was never thoughts,
only actions needed to escape..
myself

maybe you will think me ignorant
but i know myself
no more tearing about my mind
no more analyzing,
just acceptance
and peace

but you know what they say,
the eye of the storm is always the calm...
and then reality hits

It starts with you,
an exciting adventure
but oh! how wrong was I
delusional,
set in the idea that I am one for affection
it makes me sick how much you care

but maybe it is not I who is delusional,
but you?
you who don't even know me,
for I am but a shell of my true identity

Identity, what is mine?
who am I?
I contemplate these thoughts every night
crying because I don't have a key,
to escape this small confided box of my thoughts
trapped by my fears, smothered by your care
I want out I want to escape,
but how?
where do the answers hide?
who am I?

It started with you,
an excited adventure
and the circle of thoughts,
in the box that confines me goes on
Is it just me or did I unintentionally make this text look like a circle?

Each morning I put on the mask:
                                                          ­ of perfection
beauty
                                      kindness
­                                                                 ­                                humor


Everything I wish I was
With another crowd I take it off,
And put another on;
                                                             ­    of braveness
sarcasm
                                 stealth
                                                         ­                                       ambition


In a way the masks protect me from harm,
I just fit in
Am like everyone else
Invisible
My identity lost

WHO AM I REALLY?
For I no longer know
I never take the mask off for long
Scared of whats underneath,
Scared to be me
Inspired from the short film "identity" it really made me think

The view revels an ocean,
Dancing below
Sparkling water turns into towering waves
The sight is breathtaking
The cool waters welcome you in

But once you go under,
Become relaxed
Waves get bigger
Threating to pull you under
Tide becomes stronger
Dragging you where you don't want to go
The fight begins,
Ending only when you leave...

I view a handsome boy
Laughing below
His eyes meet mine creating butterflies
He so looks lovely
His arms welcome me


But once you get in
Fall in love

You
I don't know whether to hate you or love you
Somehow you've filled my dark empty space with light

Every time I think of you I smile
Letting the warm tingling filling feel me up

you occupy ever corner of my mind
Day and night I dream of being near you

Why can't I live my life in peace?
Why won't you let me?

I liked life when I had no care
When things were easy
But now I care to much about you
And you about me
  Jul 2016 Sarah
damsel in distress
I never thought that a three second eye contact
Could rock my world like this
I just wanted you to notice me
It was never my intention to fall
I don't know where I lost control
Must have been somewhere between your smile and the way you dance

You have marked my notebook
But your smile left a mark on my heart and mind too
You are everywhere I go
And everyone I see
Take my heart with you
I don't need it without you
