Searching For Me
I wake up this morning
Looking at myself in the mirror
I found out that am different
From what I think I am
Thinking back on things I have done
Comparing them with things I do
Remembering things I wanted to do
I found out that am far from me
I want to be somebody
I have never met
I want to do things
That has never been done
But in my small mind
Something is clear
I have not done what I ought to do
Seeing I am a shadow
The shadow of my true self
Seeing I am an illusion
Illusion as real as me
Knowing I have not reached my destination
But one thing is certain
I will find me some day
