Wandering, Not Lost

Misunderstanding where I am within
Leaves you thinking I'm on a wayward road
Not realizing, I'm in reset mode
Separating me, from stress to begin
If I don't start the journey now, then when?
Walking away from the story untold
Makes you assume my mental will unfold
Reminds me, you don't know of where I've been

Searching for one's self does not mean I'm lost
It's taking a stand to pull in the reins
Right the wrongs in my path, as they should be
Hurt feelings to mend in some lines I've crossed
Addressing my past, likely breaks some chains
Soaring like a bird, my spirit set free
