I search for me

I wander, lost, with heart astray Seeking the truth, the self I've known Through paths that wind, where darkness is sown The forgotten shelf, where memories sleep Echoes of the past, in whispers creep The footsteps I've taken, where do they lead? Through labyrinths of thought, where doubts proceed In the mirror's gaze, I search for a face A reflection of truth, in a uncertain place Is that the me, who stands before my eyes? Or just a shadow, of a distant surprise? The pages of my past, like autumn leaves Crisp and worn, with stories that deceive Words and memories, like whispers in the night Secrets untold, in the silence of forgotten light Who has truly looked, into the depths of time? Where have I been, in the silence of forgotten rhyme? In the stillness of the night, I hear a call To seek the truth, and stand tall The winding road, that stretches far and wide Leads me to the edge, of the unknown tide Where the horizon meets the sky And the truth I seek, begins to come alive In the silence of forgotten times I'll find my way, through the shadows that align And when the dawn, breaks through the night I'll stand as one, in the light of my true sight.
