Poem
I'm searching for the real me I'm searching for myself Am i who i think i am Or am i someone else I look into the mirror And stare into my eyes The image comes out clear But it's only a disguise The frown on my face Shows off all my pain And my eyes are only clouds Letting go of rain I look to the ground And all i see are puddles From every pain and hurt From every painful struggle Back into the mirror i look Back into my eyes i stare Crying out in pain Crying in despair From everything I've been through And everything I've witnessed If i was looking for pain and failure Then there's no doubt i haven't missed it But then i started thinking Thinking to myself It doesn't have to be this way I could be someone else So looking at the mirror Looking at my eyes I told myself, it's time to change It's time to change my life I started taking steps Towards cleaning up the mess With support from other people It was kinda like a test Leaning towards success Leaving behind the mess Was kinda hard for me But i only gave my best Gusts of wind come my way Gusts of wind knock me down But i get back up, and overcome my day Because success is where I'm bound It's been a journey, with many roads taken And reaching points to almost breaking But steps to success, are the moves I'm making One step at a time, is how I'm changing I look into the mirror And stare into my eyes The image comes out clear Success equals pride There's a smile on my face Because i made a choice To stop being afraid And start using my voice The smile on my face Defeats all my pains And my eyes are rays of sun Shining through out the day I was searching for the real me I was searching for myself I wasn't who i thought i was I was somebody else.
