About the Poem

It is descriptive of the way I feel every day when I wake up.

Something

by Raquel

And so it came to be
this isolation that I am
I can only look to me
to find the way it all began -
this confusion, constant
hunger for something more than this
I strive to find this being
that I envision, yet seem to miss.
Could it be that I am empty-
or maybe a little lost?
Could it be that I am lonely,
or seek happiness at any cost?
This never-ending Something
that I am living deep inside,
depicts the illusion of myself
and all I have to hide.

Ok, you know your poem is good, when it makes someone cry, your words they struck me, and jammed into my side, I am sitting here baffeled and can't believe your words, cuz everything that you said, just caused a bigger void, I like the things you said in it, because they all were so true, keep up your writing, just make sure what you say is really you

Matthew

Your not alone in the way you feel. This decribes the way I wake up, go to sleep and generally am all the time. Very good writing, keep being honest, it only makes for superb poetry.

stacy

This is how I feel everyday I wake up. I do hide. Keep writing you are an inspiration.

Nikki

susan

as i sit here on my birthday pondering my life, i find this poem brings me some peace. thank you for letting me know i'm not alone and that many of us travel the world feeling lost. maybe if more of us speak up, being lost would no longer feel "abnormal".

Shane

Just want to say I liked it..

Karleene

I am a mother of two,and have been married for 16 years.They are the most important people in my life,and I would do anything for them.But why does it feel like something is missing?When I read this poem this IS how i've been feeling.

Raquel, very well done poem. I could feel your pain while reading it. It flowed nicely and it was a great depiction of your emotions.

Rebecca

I feel the same way. I love how you express this feeling. It touches my heart.

Hilde

The answer is within you. In the quiet corner of your inner being are all the answers to your question. My thoughts are with you and I wish you contentment and Peace Profound. I found in trying to be what I would like others to be I am halfway on my way what I seek. Forgive the grammar, besides not speaking perfect Englich I forget words. I wish you well,

amy

could relate had real feeling for this one.
