Self fullfillment

Like a drifter, I walk alone

Lost in my own thoughts

Mind clouded by feelings and emotions

Locked away from the outside world

Trying to be all that I can be

Feeling as things are holding me back

Trying to live up to their expectations

Forgetting about my own

Forgotten dreams and broken memories

Trapped in a clouded world

Alone and lost

While others are worry free

Nobody to understand me

Misguided and misjudged

Friend too many,

Truly known by few

Nobody to know me for who I really am

Expected to be somebody I’m not

Trapped in a world or secrecy and deceit

Wanting to get out

Wanting to be set free

To live my life to the fullest

To be loved for whom I really am

To live life the way I want

Wanting to break free of all worry

Wanting a clear mind

Wanting people to know the true me

Wanting to Belong!

I’m breaking free

So are you welcoming the new me?

No more sleepless nights

No more worry

My mind is freed and I’m the real me

Forget about your dreams,

I’m working towards mine!

I am me and that’s the best I can be.
