Where am I?
Where did I go?
The person that I was?
I look in the mirror
And don’t know who I see
A stranger in the fog

My body has carried my little ones
And now their lives I live
Their happiness is all that matters now
And this sacrifice I give

But when they grow older and their needs start to change
My search will start to begin
Through the dark I will begin to sail
To find my soul lost within

I know she is there somewhere and desperate to be found
She is buried deep inside
She is gone now but this is not forever
She shall no longer hide

And the search may be long
And the sea rough and vast
But I cannot give up on finding her
The girl I left in the past.
Inspired by a picture an acquaintance drew and posted on social media. I attributed my feeling to her image. No idea if that was what she was thinking.....
