I am trying to find myself

 

I am trying to find myself.

From the outside in.

My life, my spirit and soul be fulfilled,

Although there is an empty place where my heart once was.

This emptiness is unlike any other feeling I have ever had.

I know my heart beats but I do not feel anything,

I know my heart beats as it dreadfully keeps me alive.

 

My life is empty and aching for what I can not have,

Yet it is filled for what I have been given.

It is filled from having the chance to know you,

For being able to be in your presence,

For being able to see your spirit and glow affected so many.

 

Your spirit is what keeps me going.

To honor you in everything I do.

Your strength is what keeps my heart beating.

To be a better me, to be a strong individual as you are.

To find myself as a strong spirit.

To find myself and to let myself love again.

To find myself and let my heart beat freely with no regrets
