Some where along the way
I lost hold of what was me.
Then I became me,
The me that you know.
Once I had a dream
But I couldn't wake up
To share it,
And when I did wake
It was useless to the context.
At one point it was good
Then it took a turn.
Somewhere without knowing..
Tears became my companion.
Who was I?
Do you remember?
Or the me you know,
Is the fine art piece you cherish?
Once I believed in God,
Then doubts grew on me.
I wondered,
Till I gave up.
Yes, I gave up
Not in one aspect
But everywhere it was an option
I chose to forget.
Amidst conflict,
From right and need
I chose to laugh
That's the smile you see now.
When last did I cry?
I also don't remember
The world taught me
That tears only drain me
But nothing changes.
If you know me
Then you know me not.
Because am not me
The me you always knew.
