I feel sadness creep into my soul
And bare tears into my eyes.
For I've lost me? I am? Who I am?
Who I wanna be?
All the certainty, it's all gone.
The motivation.
The fire that once burned inside of me has sizzled out from the tears that suffocated its existence.

Without the fire, without the motivation I have lost me.
My identity, my existence in this place we call life.
How? Why? Where?
How do I find it all again?
Why did everything change?
Where do I go from here?
Where do I go to find all of the answers my mind so desperately seeks?

Where did that person I once knew go?
The identity that I once possessed
Where'd it go? Where'd I go?
All these questions and no such thing as a definite answer.
What? What is life anymore?
What is the purpose of it?
Without any of these answers why is there even a me?

The author's comments:
I was inspired to write this piece because I'm tired of tears trying to describe how I feel. I wanted to put my feelings into words. For the past few months I've been sad, and I've lost myself between feeling alone even though I'm surround by people everyday. I needed to let it all out and I started writing, trying to make sense of everything.
