Hiding from Myself...
You hold back your true potential as you wait for the proper Moment, which is any moment that you choose!
As I was laying on the grass 🌱
On a warm summer day...
I was thinking about my life,
While caught up in a Gaze...
The light blue sky,
Clouded my thoughts, about
An imaginable Juncture,
Of having the Time of my life...
When things feel great,
I want to cry.
Knowing that I'm not sad,
I ask myself, “Why, Is it Impossible to feel good about Yourself and not feel like a Boast?... Maybe I'm just talking to the wrong somebody.
Nonetheless, How do you be happy without pride?
Things change and Happy moments come down...
I lay here on the grass, concentrating on my life.
Is it strange not knowing when to celebrate?
More questions pour from my mind...
Maybe the celebration should be with different people...
I want Greatness, I want achievements, I want the Love that comes with Life.
Although I'm too afraid to make myself vulnerable, because of the Energy eating pesticides...
It's crazy how all of this is rolling through my mind.
Alone I lay in the Grass on this
Warm Summerday...
Thinking, why can't my life be great?
I never was afraid of making mistakes.
I couldn't run from myself,
So I tried to hide...

This was really relatable for me Lonzo! The lines "I couldn't run from myself, So I tried to hide..." speaks volumes! Great work!
not bad but smoothness
Sadly, this was so relatable! I felt like you were writing about me! I loved it!
Make it great. I love this line “Maybe I'm just talking to the wrong somebody.” Nice, Lonzo.
This is wonderful, raw, and relatable. Well done :)
beautiful
Thoughtful words Lonzo! ☺️
I'm currently reading "Hunger" by Knut Hamsun, and for a strange reason, your poem flows quite similarly. Great piece!
I reminds me of birthdays I know that's weird but I mean when our birthday is celebrated by someone else it just means more than of we were celebrating our birthday. When really we should celebrate us everyday for all.our lil achievements.
Honest and wonderful piece. Well done, as always.
I always seem to be happiest when I'm celebrating/enjoying someone else rather than focusing on myself. BTW, you make me very happy.
A nice period of introspection, well penned. Great work, Lonzo!
Your words make me feel sympathy, well done
Superb and open to life!!! Loved it!!!
Beautifully vulnerable as well as well-written! Nice work!!!!
“I want Greatness, I want achievements, I want the Love that comes with Life.” Me too! ❤️
