My Life...

by MischieviousMya   Jul 10, 2007


These high expectations
Are taking over me.
Wanting the recognition
All that I can be.
Setting impossible goals again
They always seem surreal.
Yet, I fail to reach them
Disappointment is all i feel.
I carry my head high
Filled with pity and self doubt.
Living my life for others
Is what my life's about.
I feel so suffocated
Its getting harder to breathe.
This isn't the life I wanted
Just a life handed to me.
I cannot live this way
Not any more as of today.

    It is a poem I can get behind and say: I believe I've felt this poem before. I really Identify with this; do think, though, that you can add more at the end to enforce your feeling of over-turning past-doubt, it would add loads of complexity to it.

    Ubadooba! Great write!
