Searching for the Hows and Whys...

Introduction

My mind is quickly flowing,
Through the holes which line its edge,
Leaving nothing but the rhythm,
Through which daily I must dredge.

My quest for something more than
What makes up my boring life,
The search to find fulfillment,
To escape this jacket in which I writhe.

I know it may sound angsty
But for once I feel I must,
I need to find a way to speak,
A way which garners trust.

I long to tell my stories,
What goes on in my head,
Find a voice to express myself,
And leave me not un-bled.

I need to spill my secrets,
Things which I must hide,
The parts of this which leave me,
Stuck inside my mind.

Prick your ears and hear me roar,
Or my world will go unseen,
And I will drown and leave you,
With thoughts of what could have been.

You could be my lifeboat,
Protect me from the storm,
I need someone to save me,
From the person I was born.

I ask you not for money,
Nor for too much time,
Just an ear lent to my ramblings,
A tiny little sign,

That why I do is not in vain,
I am not left to rot,
I want to leave impression,
To never be forgot."

I wrote this right now whilst sitting in a café, so hold that in consideration as you read my poem. It is rough and I wrote it quickly, but I hope you get my point.
