Where Will They Find Me

Where will they look? 
I’m not easy to find
I’ve been searching a lifetime
I’m lost deep in my mind.

I’ve been following footsteps
But never my own
Could my uniqueness,
fit to that of a clone?

I’ve looked in the darkness
Until everything’s bright
Is solitude madness,
why does it help me see right?

Searching deep in the mirror
I see what to find
A concealing reflection
unseen by the blind.

Where will they find me?
I’m defined by my soul
I'm finally discovered,
now there’s a flag on the pole.
