In These Lines

It appears to others that know me
that I am not living,
maybe not living as they think it should be
but I am living in these lines of poetry.

In these lines,these words on paper,
there is more than what there seems to be;
These lines,these words are my life.
These lines of poetry.

In these lines I find a little more about me
and a few things I wish not to know.
In these lines of feelings and thoughts,
I tremble with each feeling,cry with each thought.
Yet, in these lines I grow.

In these lines I become less of what I am,
but more of what I want to be.
In these lines others can see my heart, that otherwise would not be able to see.

In these lines there is none of the failure,
that rules my life outside these lines.
In these lines I am free
from life's tangled vines.

In these lines I can put away my physical self,
and let my soul escape it's bounds.
In these lines I allow others to see me from the inside,
the heart that is me and the dreams my heart surrounds.

In these lines,there is no ugliness,though there are
times of confusion and tears.
Yet, in these lines there is also strength
that calms my fears.

My thoughts and feelings will last forever in these lines, therefore a part of me also will.
When I am gone my dreams will live
in these lines still.

Living, I may not be doing according to others
but not to me.
There is only a few who can see my best,
but there is a place where my best brightly and continually shines.
