Unsought

[Yjack123]

What is it?

I ask myself this constantly.
A wave of doubt is haunting me.
What is it about me that has sealed this fate? ..... is it sealed?
A quality I was not endowed? ...... name the quality
Am I too driven
or too loud? ..............liked that
I feel as though I have been cursed,
forever solely
I'll roam the earth. .......this could be better.
I try to place the fault outside
contracting walls that wrap my mind,
but the finger always points the same-
"I only have myself to blame." ..............ok, that had a bit of strength
I watch,
absorb sweet narratives,
convinced that's how I ought to live.
I grasp at air, distort what I see,
chasing a fable that's just beyond reach.
I know I should find peace inside of myself, .........you know? or people say?
but god do I wish I had somebody else.


Hey,
You had a strong emotion to pull on. I think the understanding of limitations is a good mirror. Really good idea.
I think you can improve your wordsmithing. It needs some texture. Boil it down to fewer words. It would be more powerful. IMHO

Keep on it. Don't love the title. I get it, I just think there's a better word.
