Myself Poem by SARAH A. STRUSZCZYK

Filled with empty goals
Filled with emptiness
From all the tales I’ve told
To wondering how it ever got to this
Lost the inner me
Forgot where I was headed
To where I should be
To the moments I faced and dreaded
Living for someone else
Pushing my problems behind
Trying to make everyone else happy
And keeping my own happiness out of mind
Today I stand and fight
Take control of what is mine
Make my wrongs become right
Before I lose myself in time
