a soul's destiny
sadness wells up from within and I'm caught there
sorrow speaks and I fear I'm losing myself
my internal voice quiets and I wonder where my thoughts are
I respond when I need to, to seem normal but inside I'm sullen
worries press in on me when I start to feel confident again
and I wonder if they are things I need to address,
things I can reckon with or things out of my power
was I always on this path since I took my first breath?
destiny, fate or am I just choosing wrong?
I can't change who I am at my core
I can be an actor on life's stage I've done that before....
but I will still be me
I desire goodness in me
but according to some I am evil or dark
I am gentle of soul but I fear that just isn't enough

We are who we are, my dear. Like Skittles, or Reese Pieces, or M&Ms. We have our sugar coating on the outside, for the world to see. As the inside hides the true promise of things.
I feel your words, and I can relate. But, it's okay to have a crack show, and let things in and out. And people. Or else we starve inside. Don't do that.
You're as beautiful as you feel. And that is what ultimately matters.
So keep writing. When you let it out, things sneak in.

it's true we can only be who we are and we are all very different with some having like interests...it hurts when you are of a dark nature and yet you are gentle and moral too...well who is to say the dark isn't beautiful as it is?
thank you graciously for your insight 💕

to me it's enough to have the courage to be honest, and that's coming through vividly here. when i put the big questions out there, i try to remember that the answers tend to be close to home. only silence allows me to hear them, if i can manage it. the joy of silence is often underestimated. we all deserve a break from thinking.

thank you graciously dearest poet yes, I contemplated what you said and I agree silence is sometimes needed for the answers to come and it is a time of hearing not talking... I deeply appreciate your wisdom 💕

We are taught to fit in. It's when you gain comfort in just being yourself your set free.
Understand more of your poem then you think, hard life lessons from the beast of old

you're right dearest Liam , sorry humanity has taught us to blend in I think my mind is usually abuzz with thought and it is now but they are feelings that cause conflict within...with seemingly no resolution I do my best and hope that is enough... I cherish your thoughts ❤️

hello dearest poet thank you graciously for your thoughts I have great difficulty adhering to any set religion because I believe there to be truth in all of them man made fictions as well... I struggle because I have heard the spirit since before I could walk before anyone taught me about church or the bible...I still here him in my mind today...I also study the Christian bible because for what ever reason that's how the spirit had me placed growing up...he has revealed a great many things to me about his nature and it doesn't line up with what people generally speaking believe...I may be a vessel that was formed to destroy for nothing more than to show God's power to the chosen...he say it isn't the case still I question... I cherish your thoughts 💕

"I can't change who I am at my core

Not sure why this entire piece resonated with me so much.
It's beautifully expressed.
