Searching

MMadrid

I've been Searching for myself

all these years

trying to become

the person i thought i should be

 

there's so much pressure at times

with comparison and wanting acceptance

i hadn't even realized

the underlying frustration

of trying instead of just being

 

Do and see what appeals to me 

not for what others may think

but because it makes me happy

 

Searching

 

yes, i was searching

 

i no longer am

i realize 

ill continue to grow and change

but now from my interests 

and i'm my own best friend.
