Searching


What am I? Who am I?

Those simple questions have the most difficult answers

They may seem easy after finding the answers

But the difficulty is finding the answers

You can make up who you are

But you have to know who you really are.

Do I know who I really am?

No I don't, but I would like to think so.

How can I tell you who the authentic me is when I myself don't know?

What I can tell you is that I'm on my way to finding that answer

I know that I'm not perfect and that I make mistakes

But I'm beautiful and I'm myself, even if I don't know who that is yet.

I'm still young and I still have time

Whether it's a lot of time or not

I'm finding the real me

That's what I see

I see the one who is still searching 

The one who will find her way one day

The one who, no matter what, is beautiful

The one who will be true to herself

The one who will take charge of her own life

The one who will know the answer one day.
