I Don't Know
I don't know me anymore
I used to be so sure
All this pain that I endure
Would never have a cure
I dont know who I am
This person Ive become
Is a stranger to me
Inside I just feel numb
I dont know how to be
I feel like I'm not me
The reflection that I see
Is made up of debris
I dont know what to do
To find myself again
Im so unsure of everything
I dont even trust my pen
I dont know where to find
Missing pieces of my mind
So much is undefined
My thoughts are not aligned
I dont know how to balance
The darkness and the light
Im always so extreme
I just can't get it right
I dont know if I can
I haven't got a plan
To be a better man
Than when this all began
I dont know what Ive done
Cuz now I just feel lost
Always a price to pay
Can I afford the cost?

Appreciate you as well.

I get it. It’s a really long really hard puzzle. But you’ll get there. Also, does anyone truly know themselves? You are always going to find more surprises more nooks and crannies. It’s less of finding yourself and more of showing yourself. Does that make sense? You’re doing really good. I love you <3
Yes, there are so many layers to the mind and to what makes us who we are.
I really liked this idea of showing yourself rather than finding yourself. It does make sense and I really appreciate you sharing it with me. Maybe it is a good way to help me move forward. A shift in perspective. I've looking at it from the point of view where I am trying to identify certain parts of myself and supress some while highlighting others. Perhaps it is more about just allowing these parts of me to show themselves and incorporate into a whole.
Thanks girl. You have given me something to truly give some consideration. Love you too! <3
