How I Lost Myself

Would you please not lose yourselves?

I lost myself when I acted to please others.

I lost myself when I saw the image that others showed me.

I lost myself when I did what others wanted.

I lost myself when I suppressed my desires for others.

I lost myself when I walked on the path that others chose.

I lost myself when I let others intrude on my freedom.

I lost myself when I thought about what others wanted.

I lost myself when I heard what others made me hear.

I lost myself when I ceased to listen to my inner voice.

I lost myself when I forgot to speak for myself.

Then I realised, had I only heeded the feelings of my spirit, I would find myself.
