I think I lost myself,

buried myself in false indifference,

looked at someone and

hid my imperfections in

their perfection.

I think I lost my voice; I

saw their wrong and

swallowed my opinion;

I needed so badly

to bury myself in their

approval.

I think I lost my soul,

Saw its jagged edges

and ugly scars scattered about;

but then I broke it more

for there was no light in it.

I think I lost myself,

I tried so hard to bury me

in you; but

you were busy burying

yourself in another.

I think...

...I lost myself.

Nevermind
