Whats happened to me?

One day i mowed the lawn,
and decided to lat down in the fresh cut grass afterwards.
I thought where am I going?
I first had to realize where I had been...
Ive been searching the universe,
seeking and searching..
For something I knew was missing
Ive had everything in my lifetime.
Money,cars,houses,lovers,partners
children animals... Good jobs, bad jobs!
Ive had everything and nothing all at once...
Ive let things slip through my fingers
without trying to hold on.
Then in and instant Ive grabbed everything
back and held it or them till there wasnt anything left.
Today I feel some sorrow for those things and people
Ive taken hostage.
I no longer want to do those things so....
I have to allow people to fly,when they want and crawl as they need to.
I crawl at times,when I forget how to stand up and look people in the eyes.
See people for who they are not who I think they need to be.
I need to remember all of us have our own Goddess within and allow others to shine. When I do this I cease fighting everything and everybody.
And I am able to reflect on my own shit.
I am not who I used to be!But I am growing!I will be someone great.
If not in someone else's eyes,at least mine.
I will be someone I can look at and be proud of..
So I lay here in the grass thinking....
I guess all along I just needed to find me.
And thats where I need to be.

butchito,

You said a lot there and the best came last with the last two lines.

It is always important to know ones self.

Butchi,

I like this. you deff. said what is true. Everyone falls down, just as everyone needs a helping hand up, once in a while. But we all must remember just how it felt to fall down, and get that hand up; So that we dont forget to help others up when we see them falling. It all goes around. We just gotta keep 'rolling with the punches' I like to say.

nice writing.
