Identity

To be by myself today
I am unable to find my own identity
I have acquire another self at bay
Upon numerous forms without a remedy

And I do wonder...
When was I a wholesome self to have lost it?
Did involvement wander...?
Have I a sounding completion to perfectly bleed?

As my mind ran through my lifetime's worth
My lifetime's worth ran my mind astray
Am I remembering or did memory birth?
Who I potentially am for my place in the world to stay...

We are always new when we begin to think
But we cannot discard who we once were...
Where was once the perfected me I now dream?
Have I not an advancement to rather veer?

The leaving heart grieves ever so
Where the yearning life desires unknowingly
The forgiving death bestow life with roles
Have you a life for death an identity?
