Myself

I was just a nomad,
Walking along the streets,
With a broken heart,
An enervated mind,
And, a forlorn soul,
Searching for life.

I walked, walked all over,
In search of bliss,
In search of content,
In search of pride,
In search of life,
Alas! I just found nothing.

Looking around me,
I found no paradise,
I found no sanctity,
I found no peace,
I found no esprit,
Rather an empty space.

Finally jaded, I sat on my knees,
A single drop of sweat,
A single beat of heart,
A single thought of realization,
Opened gates to the world of all,
The joy I found within "Myself".

The hopelessness in this piece at the beginning was really disheartening, but you ended it with the slightest hint of hope in the end. Great piece.:)

An excellent poem of "self discovery." I had, often, thought every person should spend one week, every year, completely alone (void of human company.) We are so involved with being a part of "the" world that we lose sight of "our" world. This was excellently written and was easy to read. I enjoyed it!

A sad poem with the search for peace in a life. It seem we walk in so many wrong directions. I like the ending. In the end we must find understanding for deeds good and bad in a life. A outstanding poem. The story was strong.

Sad, sad to begin although beautifully written .. then, that wonderful light in the final stanza bringing hope and joy. Your writing is altering, becoming very confident and sure-footed ..

I hope life is good for you.. Thank you for sharing
