Dear Me Poem by Babalwa Mbalula

Well i feel as though i've lost myself
i really have no idea where it all
went wrong
was it the day i tried to be someone else
or was it the day i was someone else
would you please just let me know

I have done a thorough search and
cannot find the girl i used to be
the young and playfull child that had
a touching smile
i don't even smile anymore

Has the world make me loose
myself
or was it i that lost me
i need to find that little girl
the one who was playfull
carefree
i need thosse things in my life
So dear me find them so
i can live again
