Self Discovery

Another poem I wrote years ago when I was trying to find myself

Wanting to find myself and trying to fit in. 
Somehow, needing to forget all the places I've been.

Opening my eyes and starting anew. 
My confusion shows in everything I do.

 
No matter what happens, I'll always be me. 
But suddenly, I'm realizing I'm not who I thought I'd be.

 
I'll never be ashamed of who I am on the inside. 
There's things about me that I can never hide.

I've learned that new experiences won't change me. 
Everything happens for a reason, although it takes awhile to see. 
I am who I am and eventually, 
I will live in this world completely guilt-free.

I would alter is to;
Somehow, needing to forget all the places (that) I've been.

"I'll never be ashamed of who I am on the inside."
to
I'll never be ashamed of who I am inside.

Very minor things I see that could make a smoother flow, but I did truly enjoy this piece.

Thank you! I have been waiting for someone to critique my writing so I can make it better. Thank you so much for the wonderful review and suggestions that I will surely take, as I agree!

You are welcome. Glad to be of any help, for your work is already beautiful.

To be who you are is your goal on earth. But very very difficult to do. Your writing speaks beautifully to discovering and accepting yourself as you are. Not thinking that experience can fundamentally change you. And that is ok.

Take care. Could you read mine?
