Thyself

Anxiety and shame riddled my youth and I just wanted to belong The desire to excel and conform was beyond measure The painful difficulties of youth are rarely validated Being told to follow your hero but blaze your trail Follow the shadow but color inside the lines Neverendingly seeking the rightly wise I finally woke up one day and realized When you exhaust help in others Turn from them and the world Sometimes it is best to revert And seek wisdom from who? Thyself.
