Three Years Ago

I lost myself about three years ago.

And I can’t complain 

because I just stood there and watched him go…

Was it because of me or my super-ego?

I was within -and- out of control.

I made my own disguise by just being myself.

Pretty witty! A brief poem that's meaningful, has rhymes and flow and is totally striking while also leaving some space for the readers to ponder. You've beautifully described someone changing into a new person by using the losing-old-self imagery, it's pretty much like the snakes shedding their skin. It's intriguing when you call him a disguise. Enjoyed this piece.

yes, it is pretty much like a snake shedding its skin.
Thank you Rana, I really enjoyed reading you review and your understanding of it.

Hi Sin. Love what you have done here. Those deep inner thoughts that make us think one 'me' has vanished but another 'me' has taken its place. Very thought provoking, as I find many of your poems are!!! Loved this, alf

[sinNsincerity]

Why thank you Alf! That was my intention with this write, so I'm glad you got that out of it!

[AaronFreitas]

Awesome write... I can relate as I think your three years ago is my right now. I am trying but sometimes I look back on the day before and wonder where the real me went. Great write... love that I read it and can look right at myself with your words :)

three years ago, almost like everyday dude. I just wrote three years for the dramatics.
I guess it all comes with the vision of ourselves that we see in our minds and want to be...
It's all about committing to what you want and getting it. At least for me...
The writing allows me to travel to different times of me- future, present, and past.
Really glad you you could read this and self reflect on yourself Aaron because that's one thee main goals I have with this stuff.

Like where did he go? Do you know? Have you found yourself? or did he find himself? Why did he go in the first place?

[sinNsincerity]

It was the piece of me that did awful things pretty much

[Crystal Overmeyer-Birmi..]

I really loved this! I think we can all relate to this. Great writing. I love that it was so simple and yet so deep. its becoming one of my favorites!

[sinNsincerity]

Why thank you Crystal, I am truly grateful!

[Sindu]

Brilliant! Can correlate to losing someone close or simply oneself...

I bet it's different three years later!

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you Sindu, you're so kind.
I am glad that you can relate and yes, very different after several years...

It is a great first line and makes me curious about the whole poem. It gives me images oft mirror reflexions.
