Searching For The Real Me

by So-Not-Normal   Mar 13, 2005


I look out into the darkness,
Searching for a place to hide,
This darkness seems familiar,
Because its how I feel inside

I keep looking out there,
Looking for someone that I know
I cannot find who they are
There face they will not show

I see a shadow through the trees
Its beckoning me to come
I follow it through the darkness
Not knowing the true outcome

I just want so badly to see that face
I want to know who it belongs to
But every time I see it
It leaves without a trace

Suddenly I'm catching up to it
Im getting ever closer
Getting very nervous
My heart is pounding harder

I am determined to know who it is
My hand is stretched way out
I have to turn it around
So I can know without a doubt

Then they turn around
And I am shocked by what I see
The person that I was chasing
Was really the true me

I had been separated from it
So very long ago
But now I have found it
So the real me can now show

There is no more searching
I can now be what I am cabable of
I can meet new people
and finally find some love

I can now be real and true
and never be fake
I can be who I am
And not live live completly with heartbreak

Now that i have found that face
I can be truely happy
I can live my life
And never again search for the real me.

*This is about a person searching for who they are and then finding it... sorry for not being very good!..*
