she looked at herself in the mirror,
but not appearance, her self in whole.
wondering where this girl has gone
who used to have a happy soul.
her stumbled fingers touched her cheek,
she widened her taupe eyes out big
trying to reach deep inside
to find herself and dig.
i lost myself, down in an abandoned hole,
and the shovel was thrown away.
no rescue for me, no safety to find,
all i can do is pray.
i cared for too long and too much
now leaving me rooted and rotted to bone.
I guess I lost myself caring for everyone
who just left me forsaken and alone.
she lifted up her head to look at herself
and smiled realizing she wasn't a mistake.
no matter how long she was lost,
she know the paths to take.
