It's Been Too Long Since I Met Myself
It's been a long time
since you've cared for everyone else.
It's been a long time
since you've been away from home.
It's been ages
since you sat beside yourself.
It's been ages
since you truly met yourself.
You've forgotten
who you are.
You've forgotten
who you once were.
The closer you kept moving
toward everyone else,
the farther you drifted
away from yourself.
Perhaps that happened
because you had never truly
known yourself.
The winds...
The mountains...
The roads...
The stones...
The soil...
The flowers...
They miss you.
Perhaps...
you don't.
You found neither
the people you were chasing,
nor yourself.
You lost them,
and somewhere along the way,
you lost yourself too.
