Through Weathered Eyes

22

I'm not always the person I'm made out to be.
I don't carry the will to hurt anybody.

Deep down,
I just want to be loved.
Deep down,
I just want to spread love.

I've got a heart big enough to share with the whole world.
The pain of rejection has caused its edges to curl.

Caught up in life, with too many complex choices.
Wrong paths followed, have only led to more voices.

I'm not a bad person.
I'm just trying to survive.
I'm not a bad person.
I just crave to feel alive.

-D.O.

So, I wrote this a while ago and deemed it as unfinished. Came back to it today and read through it a few times. It's definitely not my best work. I feel that at the time, I was overwhelmed in the situation I was given, and I was trying to vent out my thoughts. I personally don't like it too much, but something is always better than nothing.

PS-Apologies for my absence. It's safe to say that we are all going through trying times. I want everyone to know that you are loved and appreciated. We will all get through this. I believe in every single one of you! I'm hoping to get back in the game of writing. I've been doing a lot of self discovery in my absence, and I really want to share with you guys. Thank you to everyone who has taken time out of their day to read my work. It means everything!
