A Note to Me


Dear me,
Its been a long time
There are times when I feel
Like I barely know you.

Buried under layers and layers
Of memories that dishearten me
I search for the true you
The 'you' unadulterated by time!

My family, my friends know some things
But I cannot make that claim
For I know they know a small part of you
And there is so much more to you!

Here I am searching, seeking
To dig deep beneath those layers
So I can encounter and relish
The real you!

It is time to let go of everything
That causes me to distrust you
It is time to leave every path
That takes me away from loving you.

At last! If I can truly say
I know who I am...
And if I can truly be myself fully
Then my life will be complete.
