Find a way — Summary

Trying to find a way That will make me feel the same When i was younger and my mind Wasn't overhelmed by pain Emotions are drifting in my head Trying to forget old wounds in my heart Make me feel the same When i was younger happier man.

The speaker is looking back at who they used to be and wishing they could feel that way again. They describe their younger self as a happier man, someone whose mind wasn't weighed down by pain. Now emotions drift around in their head, and old wounds still sit in their heart. The poem's central wish, repeated almost like a plea, is to find some way back to that earlier feeling.

What stands out is how plain and unpolished the language is. There's no elaborate imagery, just a direct statement of need, which makes the poem feel honest and a little raw. The repetition of "make me feel the same" suggests the speaker is stuck, circling the same thought without finding an answer. The mood is sad and tired, but not hopeless: the title, "Find a way," hints that the speaker still wants to heal, even if they don't yet know how. It reads like a quiet, private confession about nostalgia and emotional pain.
