DO YOU REALLY MISS YOURSELF?
did you wake today as someone else
the one who hides what she can't mend?
who once ran wild toward open doors
but now just breaks and learns to bend?
do you remember how it felt
to dream without a second guess?
before the noise & before the guilt
before survival meant this mess?
when did you trade your rest for rush
your joy for tasks that drain you thin?
when did you start to shrink yourself
just to be worthy & just to win?
no shame for getting lost like this
but tell me love, when all is through
if your soul asked who you became
would you still recognize it’s you?
