I find myself searching,
Searching for what
I do not know
I think I search to find myself.

No purpose
No path

I can feel the potential, the talent well up inside me
For I hide my true abilities
Under cloak and behind mask
I am afraid to let you know the real me

No friend
No lover

Could make me see my own self worth
Too prideful to make a submission for help
Too stubborn to admit fault
I stand alone of my own free will

Struggles and challenges

I see now
Older and wiser
Dedication and fortitude
Stored within my character
Shall push forward ever on
Striving for the next day
Paving a path to what's better

I see the err of foolish young ways
Trials tribulations
Love and violence
However no changes would I make
The world made no better teacher

I am here
I am now

Aware of myself
Aware of the world

I still search
I know what I search for
It can not be  quantified
I search for mind body and soul

I now search with purpose.
