I embark on a journey,
my inner journey...
The one to find myself...
Who am I?
Why am I?
What did I do
to deserve what happened?
When life passes us by,
we must become part of it,
else, we loose part of ourselves,
we allow things to happen,
beyond our control.
Find our soul,
for it knows
truly who we are,
what we are all about,
what makes us “tick”...
What we do to find it,
is look deep inside ourselves...
It takes time,
to search our soul.
and to find what we are all about...
We must love ourselves,
first, before we can love,
truly love, another...
Circumstances change,
in our lives...
Truth sometimes becomes muddled
for a while.
What really matters?
The journey,
for self discovery...
For within the journey,
we decide...
Within the quest,
we find what we have missed,
ourselves...

Awesome piece. I totally relate. Finding ourselves is most important in life. And keeping true to ourselves. Its the most important thing. We can share ourselves, but we need to be who we are as well. Excellent write!!

too easy to miss ourselves going in different directions, we lose touch not just with each other but our own pyschosis.
