Identity

Took a walk today
And found myself.
A stranger.
Toward the end of a long, abandoned, path
while the day grew longer.

There were dark nights,
I seemed to lose my sight.
Through thorns of malice,
And plagues of loneliness,
The air of uncertainty,
Was all that filled me.

I thought I lost my way…

Lived feeding insecurities,
Seems I only ever felt
What I could never be.
Carried so much guilt,
In an icy heart.
Always worried that I should,
Never did all that I could.

But…
I think I found my way.

And now I long to see,
Days that I can be more free.
Breathe in an unburdened sky.
Scream and cry and sigh.
And in the end, find…me.
And not the stranger that I’ve come to be.

Took a walk today,
And found…myself.
