I Lost Me

I lost me
when i tried to please 
you 
when i said what u 
wanted me to say
and did what u wanted 
me to do
when i find the one who 
is still in here
me
is all i will ever be

Miranda - I believe that there is a very strong person behind these words - I feel a overwhelming strength in you - being true to yourself is important never let anyone interfere with that - Loved this poem hon - Merry Christmas and God Bless, mj

Truth Ringing Clear. This Happens A Lot When We Try To Please Someone. We 'Adapt' And Loose Who We Truly Are For A Time.

a wonderful poem, some people try to make us who we are not my dad used to always tell me people have to accept you as you are and if they carn't then it is their loss when you say goodbye to them, I think some people will critisise what ever we do i always felt like everything I did was wrong, I wasnt good enough not clever enough but that was just lies, God says we are his children and thats what matters that he loves us, anyway God bless you from diane
