| Hey Look Its My Soul: Part 5

|
|
I'm young
I'm a hopeless romantic with a yearning heart
I'm free to make decisions even though
They are usually wrong
I'm young
I'm talented and smart and funny and everything that is good in this world
While also being catty and judgemental,
self serving and patronizing
I'm young
I tell stories to pull myself through
But most of the time they aren't as lovely
as what is really true
I'm young
I'd like to fall hard and fast but instead
I just love in my mind not my heart
And paint pictures in my head of things that might never be
That were once
But may never be again
That may never have been at all except in my own head
I'm young
I float through situations I create for myself
Without anticipating the consequences
Not on my life, which I debate endlessly
But on the ones I ruin
The ones I break
The ones I steal or fulfill or make infinitely better
All in my unrequited desire to find a place that feels like home to me.
Simultaneously wondering if its worth it
If what I'm doing is really right
If others see me as I do
If I see them as they do
If this is all worth anything.
But I am young.
And love has time yet to find me.

I say, ole chap...you sound rather young:P How young might ye be?:)
Not bad. Could use some polish. Are all these words something you say yourself or were they passed/pressed upon you first? Cuz I've never seen anyone address themselves as "self-serving and patronizing".

The person described in this is the type of self-depricating masochist to describe themselves that way.

The poem just reminds me of a young dreamer waiting for love and messing up while he/she is at it.
