The Inner Me
Not sure of who I was, or who I wanted to be
I have wandered here and there
Searching for the inner me
And to others, myself, I compared
Running from myself for so many years
I got entangled in bondage
And wrapped up in my fears
And hid the inner me inside myself
Such a strong desire to be different
Is a battle I fought everyday
I have found, that I cannot to myself be true
If I continue hiding the inner me
While trying to be, just like you

It is so important to be yourself, a beautiful poem again Neva.
I agree with Kate Neva be yourself, but in poetry we sometime wonder, its what we do.
Your poetry (for me)is about metamorphosis. Becoming is a difficult journey. You are well begun!
A lonely path, well worth it brave woman!
choosing to be someone other than yourself always a bad choice.
Learning about who we are is a lifelong process ; trust the process Neva- It can be a great journey
This poem is so real for all of us..
I notice quotes all the time that say:
"Be yourself.. Everybody else is already taken"..
So I went looking for one.. and found this..
which is really true ~
"To Be Nobody but Yourself
in a World which is doing its best, Night and Day,
to make You everybody else
means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting."
~e.e. cummings, 1955
Thank-you Neva for such inspiration everyday..
Blessings to everyone..
To be ourselves is all we truly can be.....when we accept that we will be where we belong.....Beautiful poem Neva
I agree with phyllis
Have faith and believe in yourself is half the battle
