Poetry: Agony

Who am I in this place,
What should I try to be?
One thing I need to know,
Will anyone dare love me?

Confused I sit and stare afar,
No closer do I find.
An answer about myself,
I try to look in my mind.

I'm not happy with what I do,
So I leave and start a new.
But when I leave my home,
I find I only love you.

Nor happy now,
Nor happy then.
Nor do I hear it said,
"My dear I love you".

I look at myself sometimes,
Yet I find a wretched mess.
Look inside this trembling head,
Find what, I'll take a guess.

Who am I anyway?
Am I really what they say?
You'll see a picture,
Of a person I don't know.

What do I want from me?
Will anyone ever know.
What should I try to be?
Take a seat and enjoy the show.

    I don't know who it is I see
    For the person looking through it
    Couldn't possibly be me
    I

    by Kristin Smith

    Here in this darkness
    It's here I silently hide
    While alone I sit in silence
    I lose sight of all that's mine.

    Mirage


    Floating through these dreams
    Flowing through the river
    I see a beautiful mirage
    That holds me in refrain

    Burning through
