What Am I Looking For

I am always asked “What is it that you are looking for?”
I would answer “I don’t know.”
But what I am searching for is me
I lost me a while back
Between the disrespect and arguing
I lost who I was
Being called stupid, ***** and whore
Being abused mentally and physically 
My self respect plunged and I lost me
What am I looking for?
I’m not looking for anything
But what I am searching for is me
What happened to me?
Me always being sure of who I was
But I allowed myself to let what someone else thought about me, break me down
What am I looking for?
I’m not looking for anything
But what I am searching for is me
Searching for a better me
I was held down by someone needing to always be in control
Shot down all my dreams, but wanted me to support theirs
And I was there when they failed
To comfort those wounds
I lost myself, lost who I was, so they could be who they are
What am I looking for?
I’m not looking for anything
But what I am searching for is me
