I'm seeking within,
Yet my path is murky as ink
I want to erase, the image, I have about me
Set by judgmental people in the society
I've hidden the truth, like a fossil deep within my heart,
A journey within, I'm about to start
I search for knowledge, my being inside.
Because the standards set, are not by, which I feel to abide.
I'm given a rulebook, with impotent guides.
So now I want to look, if the real me is still alive, or has already died.
If I'm buried by ashes, or I survived
And once I discover, and once I know
I will accept who I am, and not let myself go.
I will cling to my edges and tie up my loose ends,
Until I can find, that I love myself again.
