A Worthwhile Journey

I was so busy loving you that I got lost along the way. I fell so head over heels for you that I neglected me. I no longer catered to my own needs now I don't know who I am. When I look into the mirror, foreign eyes are staring back at me. I've been fighting with all I can to find me but I don't know where to begin. My journey of self-discovery may be challenging and scary, But it's a journey that I must take no matter what.

Well done Alexis. So many of us lose ourselves in pursuit of pleasing someone else. You have to be the best YOU that YOU can be because no one else CAN be and YOU can be NO ONE ELSE. Good stuff here. God Bless, JB

I thought your poem put this situation so well. When love becomes all involving and you don't think of your own welfare, this is sometimes abused making you feel lost. I enjoyed ready your poem very much, Alexis..

You must always look your best. You are you and not someone else.

It's sad that you can get so wrapped up in someone else that you forget yourself, very profound~

so powerfully penned Alexis, a poem i think many can relate to when they are in a relationship and give it 100% and lose their identity. hugs jan xx
