I lost me the day I found you.
Shed my skin like tears and waved my old self goodbye
Took some belongings but left my memories behind
If justice is blind
But so is my mind
Then what am I?
I lost me when I dared to call you mine.
Fell for your ice blue eyes and stone cold lies
Thought I knew you but all I knew was plastic.
If hope springs eternal
But my fountain has run dry
Then what am I?
I lost me when I lost my mind too.
Told everyone to leave me alone
Then complained that no one ever stayed with me.
If rose colored glasses are merely glasses
If the truth is the beautiful truth
Then what am I?
I found me the day I lost you.
Picked up my old self and dusted her off.
Introduced myself as the stronger one.
We both learned the true meaning of fear
But we both smiled for the first time in years
And for the first time, I spoke words I believed in.
“If rose colored glasses are merely glasses
And if the truth is the beautiful truth
Then, so am I.”

This poem is loosely based on 'Lose You To Love Me' by Selena Gomez and 'I HATE EVERYBODY' by Halsey, two really good songs I drew inspiration from.
