my friend is hurting.
and it isnt my place to fix her but i want to so badly. she needs to know that everything will be okay in the end. that she will eventually be able to get away from everything holding her back here. from everyone here, trying to
block her way.
i feel too much.
they say i have an "old soul"
I dont know what that means except that Im different,
i like to write poetry, and i like to get inspired, and i like to read
they say that i have an old soul
but i dont know what to do with it, because I am different.
i am saddened by peoples pain
when my friends hurt, I hurt
my friend is hurting, and now, without meaning to,
I am hurting
i cried when she told me her problem
the letter she wrote brought tears to my eyes, and that feeling of a broken heart will never leave me
I want to change the world
I want to leave behind something in this world, like a book
or a poem, or a song, or a movie, or a script, or anything that inspires someone
the way that i was inspired by the movie Shakespeare in Love, or the book The Kite Runner
I want someone to look back and say "you know, that girl was really great"
i want to leave behind something that someone centuries from now comes across while sifting through the boxes in her deceased great grandmothers attic, and then she shows her friend, and her friend wont get it, but that girl who found it will treasure it forever and that will inspire her to write her own novel, poem, short story, in honor of me that centuries from now, someone else will find and it will continue
i want to change the world in the small, undiscovered, simple ways- like smiling at the man behind the counter of starbucks as he takes my order, and tipping him a little bit extra. Maybe that day, he'll buy a bouquet of flowers for his wife that hed been neglecting the last couple of weeks because money was tight, and then that wife will send the birthday card to her friend she hasnt talked to in a few years, the friend that was about to commit suicide, but stopped when she recieved that birthday card knowing that somewhere, someone cared.
i want to indirectly save someones life.
my friend is hurting, and right now, all I can do to help her is give her hugs and let her know that I am here, always. and that kills me that i cannot do more
but one day, maybe years from now i hope that she looks back upon this time in her life when she was hurting so badly
and she'll remember I was there
and maybe that will help her live better
maybe that will make her smile to the guy behind the counter in starbucks taking her order, and maybe that will make her tip him a little bit extra...
maybe that will save a life. |

That was an awesome bit of poetry...if that was poetry. And, if a real story from the heart, then amazing as well. You tugged at my own heart strings...my own "old soul". I've been told that before, too. I've had the same feelings including those about leaving something behind to be remembered by. Nice job.

I am definitely inspired by this blog but I am almost the same way. I consider myself an old soul too. I feel and care too much for others even though most people don't care for ME. I want to help and inspire others too

Your writing is very moving. I know what it means to have an "old soul". I also know the passion of wanting to create something that both inspires and helps others. I wish you all the best in your life journey. Great writing on all your posts, I just read them all as of today. Keep up the great writing!
