Searching For Myself

"Searching For Myself"

Buried by my pain,
I set out on a quest-
"I will find myself today
Till I do, I will not rest."

I looked in what I do-
In gymnastics and in class...
The answers are so hard to find
When focusing just on that.

So I needed to look further;
To dig down a little more.
When I did I found
Some of the "me" I've been looking for.

I saw a girl who smiles...
A girl who just wants love.
I saw a girl who can learn to like
The person she has become.

The journey did not take a day.
It didn't take a year.
The journey to find myself...
Well, the journey still is here.

Because, you see, the more I find
The more there's left to me.
But, now I find me easier;
Now I can just be!
