I wandered
Wondering who I was
Seeking out answers to why I still breathed

I prayed
For myself and my sins
I looked for the person I had been before

I watched
As others met the same fate
Suffered the same ignorance
Bore the same scars

No answers met me
No words inspired me
But I kept going
Hoping for tommarrow

I listened
Waiting for my inspiration
Meeting only silence and dissapointment

I cried
Cried for myself
Cried for my sins
Wanted to die
Wanted to cease to be

I lost myself
I forgot my own name
I was just another wanderer looking for peace

My hands clasped my heart
My heart that had forgotten love

My tears fell
I ached
I realized who I was
I realized I had almost lost that person

I saw my eyes
Looking back at me
I saw a person who had become a stranger

I heard my voice
Crying out in need
I felt those I loved embrace me and comfort my tired soul

I realized that my true self
Had never left at all
