TO BE ME
By Sharon A. Ricard
In the midst of mass confusion
I can find but one conclusion
My mind is sick
For my heart is broken
And so I reach
For worldly token
But it’s all vanity
My life’s insanity
I starve my soul till it aches with emptiness
Till my body shivers with unsteadiness
I’ve lost my mind
It’s all so cruel
Just say my purpose
‘Cause I’m just a tool
I’ve lost myself
Forgot myself
Somewhere along the way
I try to remember what it’s like
To not just do
But also to be
To be whole
To be pure
To be good
To be calm
To be content
To be courageous
To be wise
To be kind
To be godly
To be ME
