Myself by Sherry L Gibson Tuesday, November 05, 2002 Share Print Save Become a Fan

Myself Who is this person deep within my soul? Yearning to be free Lurking deep beneath the fleshly body Alien to me. Each time that I feel happiness abound Sprits flying high You come along with a mad raging force Causing me to cry A hateful hurtful personality A coward no doubt Shadowed deep within this tortured mind Waiting to come out. I do not know this sad skulking creature Fighting to be real You cannot be any part of myself Or the things I feel Why do you constantly lie in waiting? Recurring at will Bringing forth your unscrupulous thoughts Making me feel ill. All I want is a life of contentment Peace within my heart This deceitful demon within my soul Hindering my will to start. © Copyright 2002 Sherry Gibson. All rights reserved.

Did you ever read "The Naked Ape"? I suspect you would find it quite enlightening.

It's so true how we can look inside ourselves and seem so alien, we tend to be far harder on ourselves...but that is what gives us the drive to push on. Great write Sherry!! ~ Dee
