Astray

until now i never knew

how easy it was

to completely,

hopelessly,

utterly

loose yourself.

the person i was

yesterday

is not the person i am

today

although honestly,

did i even know who i was

to begin with?

people can say

"you've changed"

but no one ever

specifically

tells you how.

and so

if the person i was

is gone

then who does that

make me 

now?

i'm a stranger

even to myself.
