Becoming me

A Poem by onmyway

When you lose yourself in the worldly struggles..

Finding reasons, just too easy

Putting on masks, isn't that breezy?

Right when I thought - this is me

That moment escaped, before I seized it

Opened the gift of today

and used it the same old way

Wrapped it back neatly

and then put it safely away

Because I expect another tomorrow

just like I did yesterday

Forgetting about my old dreams

but looks like, that's just okay

I still have those musings, those thoughts,

wondering sometimes what I could have got

But that painting can be painted later

that moment can later be caught

How did I start, who was I

who did I want to be, when I do die!

When did I lose my directions for what I yearned

In this labyrinth, what did I earn?

Becoming me is all it takes

That glimpse of what I could have made

Removing layer on layer that I put on

I have to find me before I am gone...

This is a good poem. We all get that feeling of who are we and will we ever become our true selves. Whether it be because we are what we are expected to be around family and friends or the US we choose not to show to anyone. Either way stepping into who we are is important to our well being. Most can feel destroyed by being something other than we truly want to be. Knowing ourselves is a huge task one we grow into slowly...that being said thank you for sharing I liked the emotion and raw truth.
