Favorite Quote:
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." - Oscar Wilde


Don't know what I'm doing anymore
(Like I ever did)
Bruised and confused and
(So dang tired)
Waking up with a smile
(Has never been so hard)
Try to me hopeful for the day
(Try to make a start)
And really be myself
(But I only break my heart)


The author's comments:
People don't think in a very straightforward manner; they go back and forth, fight with themselves. This poem is about the pessimistic and optimistic sides of a person in conflict about life.
