Ourselves Within Each Other

I was on a path of self discovery,
sometimes straying towards self destruction,
a path I thought I would walk alone,
a journey for none but myself,
but along the way i met some kids
who took my life by storm.
We came from different directions,
though somehow we met in the middle.
We all brought different things to the table,
and we all always got our fill.
They opened their hearts, so I opened mine too,
I held out my hands, and we all ran together.
It didn't take long for me to realize,
I was falling for these kids, no doubt in my mind.
They flipped my world upside down,
going every which way no matter the weather.
They pulled me up every time I tripped,
led me back when I made a wrong turn,
they threw me up when I tore myself down,

they saved my life when I was about to drown.

These kids became my heart, and I've become theirs,

These kids became my angels, my saviours, my teachers.
Time doesn't exist when I'm with them,

I live only for the moments I can never get back.
So I'm keeping my eyes open,
taking in all that I can,
these kids taught me and helped me,
guided me and loved me.
They showed me I don't have to be correct
as long as it's right for me,
and when I'm with them I can't help but feel,
that I could never ever be wrong.
I look to them in wonder and awe,
at how different we are but exactly the same.
We were all just lost kids, trying to find ourselves,
but we've found something even more,
ourselves within each other.
