Replace old memories with new ones.


I don’t have to prove myself to anyone.
I don’t have to change myself for anyone.
And I won’t.
All I am doing is waiting, not for someone to accept me, but to simply be discovered, and understood.
True I wish to be accepted but that is merely a foolish wish.
If there is anything I’ve learned, it’s that good things always end at a certain time.
I know it’s not a good way to look at things but, it’s just that the suffering I endure, it’s hard to be positive.
I can be positive when something good comes into my life, I feel happy, and I feel like I matter in the world.
I just hope that one day a good thing will last forever.

Waiting to be Discovered was my first attempt at free verse poetry. I thank Walt Whitman for his genius in creating the free verse style. I welcome comments and ask for them.
