i\'m sorry, i lost
myself
this morning.
and it got me thinking,
don\'t we
all?
i lost myself in
my drowning thoughts,
in my dissociation.
i lost myself in
a book about a girl
with more courage than me.
i lost myself in
my depression,
in my tears.
i lost myself in
your ocean-blue eyes,
in my love.
i lost myself in
conformity, in trying
to stay with everyone.
i lost myself in
the inner workings of
my own mind.
i lost myself in
the blade in my
own hand.
i lost myself in
food, in the number
on the scale.
i lost myself in
my father\'s eyes,
in the hurt.
i lost myself in
drowning my sorrows
in alcohol.
i lost myself in
the 48 pink pills
I used to try to die.
i lost myself in
a pool of blood,
in the bathtub.
i lost myself in
gym class the other
day, reliving my past.
i believe i find
myself lost fairly
often.
but
eventually,
after
minutes
hours
days
i find myself again.
