All was once frozen in time
As I fed hungerily on their minds
And took in all that I could get
And made it mine
Their dreams
Their likes
Their dislikes
My own were passed off as stones
Thrown into the lake
Left to stay
Until someone were to swim down to get them
I didn't know that the person was meant to be myself
So naive was I
To hide or...
What is it?
Not know myself
Nor even want to know who I really was
I was a fake
No, not even that
I was molded to their perfection
To what they wanted
Without realising what was happening
How come at this point in my life
After highschool
And into the second semester of college
That I suddenly started drawing myself away from all their hands
Refusing to be taken
Into another love
like
relationship
Until all was known of who I truely am
And now, here I gaze
Into the mirror of my life
Finally seeing who it is that I've always known
But haven't really known at all.
Reason for writing:
I was once one of those naive girls that always liked/disliked whatever my exboyfriends did. Now after a long drawn out time to myself, I finally see who I really am and that I'm happier, just being me.
