Look Within not Without

A poem about finding confidence

I see shadows everywhere,

Memories and What-Ifs

The circle of life and society reminding me what the job description of each chapter should be,

But they don't suit me.

I feel like I belong elsewhere,

Like Alice chasing that rabbit into wonderland, trying to find myself.

…

Maybe That's the Answer!

Daring to look through that looking glass.

Seeing the alternate version of me,

That everyone sees but me.

Maybe I'm just topsy turvy,

a little bit mad and stuck in my head,

Who Am I supposed to be?

I am still answering that question.

But I can now say, that looking within,

is probably where i will find it,

Not looking around.
