Many of us get lost along life's journey. Just think back in your own life how you may have tried on roles as easily as you tried on clothes. As teens we try to please our peers. Speaking for women, we get lost as we sacrifice so many of our own needs for those of our children. We put ourselves "on hold" and then can't remember who we even were. Sometimes we compromise who we are for our spouses as we try to figure out how to meet the needs of both. But there is a person inside of us that is an eternal being who came here to earth already having a sense of self. We arrive with gifts and talents and feelings and personality all our own. We don't want to lose that person. It is us!! Our authentic self!
I was lost for a long time. And the interesting thing was that when I finally found myself again and aligned my outer world to that inner self, it was like a homecoming. I felt like me again. I knew it was me and it felt so good.
My poems aren't all great poetry but they are my expression of where I was in my journey of life. I like this one because it was such an important time for me and reading the poem brings back all the feelings of joy and self discovery that I felt at the time.
