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.
