Poem: Finding Authenticity

It's been many years since I knew, 

what I wanted to 'be' or 'do'...

Ideas from others sent me askew,

and further from 'me' I grew...

My soul was lost, alone, and blue,

Its needs and wants I threw...

But now I know to reclaim this view,

I must let myself live true.
