Lost Identity
*LOST IDENTITY*
Where is my age long identity
I search for myself
Looking for myself within
Asking myself about me
I drain myself of my real self
I'm afraid of my new self
I plead with myself
Yet I can't be myself
The new me wrestled the good old me
The drained and Weak old me lost in a battle of me
And the new me emerged
So strange to those that knew me
Well, there's a path that lead here
A rough burning coal path
I'm cooked, but not done
Can't be eaten nor kept for another day
Raw yesterday and a waste today
The smile has faded
Anger now the trophy awarded
I feel ill-fated
An angel I once portrayed
Now a monster being paraded
Up for judgement by same slavemaster
The cracked glass is about to be smashed
The old glory stripped
And the old identity lost ever
