I am lost in my own thoughts
Lost in my own imagination
Lost in my world
Life seems to pass me by
for I gallivant in the bushes, searching
soul searching
I fail to find the I in me
There  are many I's in me that I can not recognise the real I
Rituals ,customs,ceremonies
I still can not find myself
I think I forgot myself when I was adopting
the I's I met along the way
It was so easy to pick up them
Was it because I never knew the real I in me ?
Was it because I detested the I, I saw in the mirror ?
Was it because I never had the I in me ?
I am a lot of people in me
Every mirror shows a different reflection of me
I feel clouded
Who am I?
I am in danger of not knowing which I in me is me
Who am I?
I am lost in my own territory
love and appreciate yourself before you lose the inner you because of trying to be what you are not
