Short Glimpse

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

With a short glimpse of nothingness
I got turned around
-Spun around in circles
Stopping completely opposite of where I used to be
Before,
I was just nothing
No life, no being, no self control
Walked around in a daze trying to find myself
And where I belonged
Or...
Maybe to whom I belonged
My life consisted of bitter hatred, rage
And just about every depression one could assume
I didn't like myself
Nor what I had become
Learned Helplessness- that psychology term
That's what took me in
When everyone else walked out
They never stayed long
Or if they did, they never existed
Not in their minds anyway
Taking me for granted- that was their choice
And that was what had evoked them to stay around
Only to watch me stay on my knees
Bleeding my youth like some child searching for a hand to hold
To help them find their mom
Only I was trying to find my life
And where it had gone
In youth, I was the one to always get into trouble
Wandering off
Goofing around too much
Living life as though each day were to be my last
-To the extreme fullest
I wonder what happened to my youth
And that wide eyed little girl
With her mouth always full of chocolate
Then again, it seems as though it's all coming back to me
As I find myself walking the road of life
With a new view of the world
And the biggest smile upon my lips.
