A Thought One Night Poem by Nanette Elefante

I woke up alone one night, unable to think clearly what’s making me unhappy…
it was a night full of doubts, inhibitions towards everything…
Seems life is not so perfect for me…

Well, there is no perfect description of what we should have or what we should feel…
but there should be at least a feeling of contentment…
It might be absurd to think of something unrealistic…
but this is how a new beginning will start isn’t it? …

“Build a dream; hold them as you mold them…and start applying them to get them…”

There is one question that seems hunting me…
Who am I?
Someone asked me this question but not a single word came out into my mouth…
Seems my name is not enough… I don’t even know how to describe myself…
Ahhh! It’s difficult to realize that we are not into the path that we are visualizing it to be…
Seems our entire history is not worthy…(pause)

I’m thirsty…

While I rushed to get some water I hit my back from the room’s door knob...
it was extremely painful, painful as tears came out into my eyes…
I asked myself why it happened; the answer is I forgot to switch on the light, simple as that...
So if I firstly switch on the light, I wouldn’t bump my back and there is no pain after all….

There is the mistake; I just followed my desire without taking the right steps to get it…
I’m blind and I am not aware of it… but somehow we have something to look up to, someone who makes this life meaningful…

On this very moment that I’m writing this, I already move one step to pursue what I want in life…. And this is to write what I feel…and to show what I’ve got………
