I found myself when I stopped looking, don't know if it is my age or if tragedy took all the strength out of me.
When I look in the mirror all I see is empty there, a mind made up of a thousand pieces of information I wasn't even looking for.
Knowledge I have, and I understand some things, but the wisdom
Comes from my experiences and going through things.
What I want and what I need both elude me, and my strength in my body deceives me.
If being selfish is a sin than that's the one that will do me in cause I'm tired of giving away my blessings in exchange for others curses.
Oh I found myself alright I used to sleep at night, now worry and regret plague me.
The next time i'm feeling some type of way, instead of soul searching ill lay my head down and be grateful just for today!
