Eight short lines, no stanza break, and a request that never gets an answer: "Find a way" is less a story than a held note of longing. Its speaker, who signs as Cichy1410, wants one thing, to feel "the same" as he did "when i was younger". The poem's interest lies in how it circles that wish without ever getting closer to it. Nothing is known here about who stands behind the name, so the poem has to be read on its own terms, and it holds up well that way.
The central idea is that nostalgia can be a form of pain. Look at how the happy past is described. There are no places, people or scenes, only a negative: his mind "Wasn't overhelmed by pain." The younger self is defined by what was missing, and even the final word on him, "happier", is a comparison with the present rather than a picture of joy. The only vivid thing in the poem is the hurt of now. The speaker seems to remember not happiness itself but the absence of weight. The phrase "younger happier man" also says "man", not "boy", so the better time is not childhood. This is a judgment drawn from one word, but it makes the loss feel closer and more ordinary, as if only a few years stand between the two selves.
The structure is a loop. "Trying to find a way" opens the poem, and "Trying to forget old wounds" appears again in line six. The wish itself returns almost word for word: "make me feel the same / When i was younger" in lines two and three, then "Make me feel the same / When i was younger happier man" in the last two. The grammar adds to the sense of being stuck. The opening sentence has no main verb, only "Trying", and it never becomes "I find" or "I have found". Line seven, "Make me feel the same", has no subject, so we cannot tell who is being asked. It reads like a plea sent into the air. Even the title is an imperative, a command or prayer, while the body of the poem holds only the unfinished effort.
There is no regular metre or full rhyme, and the lines swell and shrink unevenly. They run from about five syllables in the first line to about ten in line six, which is crowded with "old wounds in my heart". Then the poem drops back to the five-syllable plea of line seven. Sound still does quiet work. The long "ay" of "way", "same" and "pain" runs through the poem, and "same" and "pain" nearly rhyme. That links the thing he wants with the thing that blocks it. The word "same" is itself telling. It is a word for stillness, and what the speaker longs for is not change but a return to an unchanged state. The last line ends on a flat, stressed "man", with no article and no rhyme to soften it. It sounds like someone running out of words.
The imagery is small but well chosen. "Overhelmed" suggests being swamped, as if by water, and "drifting" continues the idea: the emotions are not driven anywhere, they float without an anchor. Emotions drift "in my head" while the wounds sit "in my heart", so both mind and heart are occupied and the speaker has no untouched place. "Forget" is also an odd verb to pair with "wounds". You heal a wound, or you hide it. The speaker wants to forget his, which suggests he is trying to avoid the pain rather than treat it. That is an inference, but the verb supports it. The lowercase "i" and the spelling "overhelmed" give the voice an unpolished, unguarded sound, as if the lines were written quickly, without editing.
One small slip of grammar is worth noticing. "Feel the same / When i was younger" leaves out a word like "as", so past and present run together. It can be read as wanting to feel now what he felt then, but it can also sound as though the younger self were still happening. Whether or not that was intended, it suits a poem about someone who cannot quite separate then from now.
The poem matters because it refuses to console. It offers no memory to hold, no lesson and no turn toward hope. It stays with the plain, recognisable feeling that a past self was lighter, and that wanting to be that self again does not help. The vocabulary is simple, and that simplicity is why the last line lands. A reader does not need any biography to understand a person asking for a way back and finding only the same question.
