I've been wanting to change for so long
My cowardice's getting to me
I'm such a scaredy cat
You'd think such a loser as I
Would have been dead a long time ago
BUT no..i'm still very much alive

How much alive?
Look at me and u'd noe
I'm more of a walking dead
Better off dead than alive

I talk BIG
I talk about wanting liberation and freedom
BUT do I have the nerve to play the game
When the time comes?

No one knows
What I do know is I dun have the balls
To play that is
Something is always pulling me back
I duno if there really is sth
Something like obligations and commitment
Or is it just an excuse to escape?
I look at myself in the mirror everyday
And all I see is a shell

I listen to what I say to others
And all I hear is hypocrisy
I try to remember all my actions
And all I can feel is my silliness
Who am I really?
Even I myself duno
I'm so lost and confused
There are so many 'mes'

I no longer noe
Which is the REAL me anymore

Sometimes I think I'm so selfish
I only think about 'me'
What about the others around me?
Dun they count?
I look in my heart and all I find is darkness
I look in my mind and I find emptiness
I look at myself and I find
A shitload of crap
My past is full of might-have-beens
My present is full of what the hell am i doing?
My future is dark in front of me
Seriously, I think my presence on earth
Is a BIG mistake
I fuck up everything and
I'm so GOOD at making ppl ard mi miserable
They'll prob find life easier
If I'm dead
I crave for death so much
You would think I'd commit suicide
BUT dun forget I'm a loser
I'm simply too damn scared to do it
In conclusion
I SUX...totally

Every morning, i wake up with mixed feelings,
A feeling of awe at a brand new day, a brand new challenge,
A feeling of trepidation as I wonder if everything will go smoothly today,
If I can take what life is going to throw at me.
Anxious to succeed at the things I've promised myself to take on,
Yet knowing deep in my heart that I'll fail anyway.
Thankful yet resentful of the fact that I am still alive,
A sense of inevitability as the haze of fantasy gradually clears,
And reality sets in, that this is yet another day I have to face.
A desperate desire to go back to sleep and escape to the land of fantasy,
Knowing that each struggle merely prolongs the inevitability.

Dragged myself out of bed,
Looking at the reflection of myself in the mirror,
The naiveity, the anxiety, the trepidation,
The crave for attention and love,
The pathetic need to feel needed,
The desperate desire to soar high,
To seek freedom, independence, dreams, a niche to call my own,
The lack of confidence, and the cowardice,
All shining through the windows of the soul,
Bare for all to see.

Yet a few seconds later,
The eyes dull, the shutters close,
Shadows reign,
The clang of metal gates echo in the mind,
And the walls perfected in the name of self-defence rise to enclose every single part of me.
Looking in the mirror again, only to find
A complete stranger.

Walking in the streets,
I kept my eyes staring straight ahead,
Looking cool, self-assured and in control,
Seemingly oblivious to everything and everyone around me.
The perfect picture of nonchalence.
Yet deep inside so self-conscious and mindful of my every action, every word,
My mind buzzing with anxieties and the feeling of imminent failure,
Sometimes to the point of near-explosion.

On the mrt, in school, talking to friends,
Doing the mundane yet necessary things to integrate myself into society.
Trying to show my self-assuredness by refusing help,
Being rebellious, forcing my opinions on others,
Full of criticism and dismissing others for what they do, what they think.
Trying to make myself liked by cracking jokes and acting cool.
All of them pretentious acts that may blind others to the real me,
But fail utterly to convince myself.

At times, I despise this me that so desperately crave love,
This need to put up a circus act to earn social gratification.
Such a tragedy to have to put up a facade even in the presence of close friends.
Yet refusing to let down the guard,
Fearing that my friends would leave me one by one
When they finally know the real me.
Disgusted and tired, I retreat.
Shut up and simply listen to the conversation around me.
Tune out everything to find the real me.
Only to find the clarifying pang of loneliness.
In reality, making myself an exile by rejecting others.

Years of practice at arming myself has made me so adept at hiding that
The real me has become lost,
Buried beneath all the perceptions, misconceptions and deceptions.
Confused about the different versions of me,
Daring only to surface and peek out at the world in the dark.
To everyone else, darkness distorts.
Yet to me, darkness is where safety lies,
Where shadows provide the much needed shelter and hiding place.
And in the wee hours of the morning as I drift into sleep,
As the dreams take over,
I exist.

I love this post. It says so much abt how i feel about myeself as well, though i didn't even have a self assured front that can be steadied at times of troubles.

Thanks for giving words to my thoughts.

And no, i think it's only natural for us to feel so. I once explained all the internal conflicts as part and parcel of Identity Crisis, but i know it isn't. My latest coping strategy is simply to bo hiew.. If ppl hurt me that often, i'm pretty sure that being not as sensitve to how others may feel might not be such an evil act after all.

But of course, on some days i feel like a devil reincarnated by thinking along such lines...

haix.
 
hey..glad u like it though i tink it sux as a poem..too long-winded and not enough chim words..lol..ya being too sensitive is a chore sometimes..if we're not so sensitive or self-conscious or self-aware or whatever it's called, life i believe would be so much better.lol

tHe kEY to My HeARt ____.

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved. You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy. You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance. Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets. Your risk of cheating is high. You can't resist desire and lust. You think of marriage as something precious.

You are Agnostic
You're not sure if God exists, and you don't care. For you, there's no true way to figure out the divine. You rather focus on what you can control - your own life. And you tend to resent when others "sell" religion to you.

How dark is your soul? (Great pics)

brought to you by Quizilla DARK - You are evil, your soul shows no light, u hate large crowds and loads of friends. You cannot resist the urge to cause pain.


You are The Moon

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.

The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.
