The Person I Long To Be

© By Victoria A. Mogyorosi

The day light breaks again
Another day has begun.

But still no sleep has come.
My body is weary

My mind overworked.
I lie awake thinking

But what I am unsure.
I need to break free from the cycle I endure.

Everyday is the same and the nights are undistinguished.
I feel as though I am being pushed along with the tide

Unable to break free from the everyday flow.
This is not me I need to change, before time takes over

And I am unable to change.
I need to be freed from the grasp of ordinary

And become that person I have always longed for.
Express myself in every way, and conquer the dreams as I lie awake.

Then I may fall asleep and put my mind to rest.
Make changes in my life and help those in need.

I would like to touch everyone's life in a positive way
And leave my mark on society before I fade away.

Hey! Lol I'm no good at interpreting poems, but I like this one. It's about a girl that wants to be the person she's longed to be, but gets caught up in the flow of everyone else.. I think! I guess it could be interpretted that she has an addiction, and that could be why she wants to change so badly.

“You do anything long enough to escape the habit of living until the escape becomes the habit.”

I like this a lot. Ordinary gets boring, and its good to have a change. Sometimes you just feel like everythings just all the same and nothing ever will but trying hard and having faith will change that and make things not so ordinary.
