Self Discovery

By ColorMeToxic

 Who am I ?
This is a question I ponder a lot.
 I spend  so much time soul searching...
Trying to find the me inside.

What could I do better?
I'm thinking about quality of life.
I seek all the answers of the universe.
I don't want to be unhappy forever.

When did I truly lose my innocence?
I thought I knew everything but I knew squat.
If I had known then, what I know now...
Things could have been different for me.

Where did I learn to be a woman? A mother?
I think I taught myself.
Rely on you and only you...
And you'll never  be let down.

Why am I so morbid?
Yet another question, for which I seek answers.
I see mostly the dark...
And rarely the light.



Now that I have gone over these questions...
Maybe I can sleep.

we'll see...

Goodnight.
