Climb

sometimes you have to leave yourself to find yourself

Climb in a taxi

Downtown Boston

Take me away Ali Khan

Take me to Mecca, Jerusalem, Chicago, Morocco, and Addis Adaba

Take me wherever you may

I have only myself to leave behind

I have only myself to find

Only myself to become

 

Who I am no longer exists

Who I am is fleeting

Who I will become is yet to manifest

 

Take me Patti Smith

To old Oklahoma

To Detroit

Wherever you want to go

I have only to learn

New experiences to have

I have only myself to become

A very nice piece of self-reflection...the geographical references and the final line gel perfectly^^

I cannot agree with you more in what you said in this poem. Sometimes we do need to leave to find out who we are. I can relate to this in so many ways as someone searching for who she is. well done
