Self Discovery

Self Discovery 


I want to waste the night away,
and spend my time
on setting my mind free.

Lost are my eyes,
in the stars
and the moon.

Tears flow rapidly,
consuming my mood.
No self control.

Riptide of emotions,
it sweeps me away.
To where I don't know.

Oblivious as to what
is included in my new
path of choice.

Lost, afraid and alone
Knowing none other than
self doubt

Stars fade,
and the sun rises.
I find the me within.
