Discovering Me

Four years spent in high school

All of it searching for something

A piece of myself

We’re all trying to figure it out

Scrambling to find ourselves

But do we get it from high school?

Parents tell us that it’s ok

Friends are there for us

Everyone is going through it

Each person is searching

There’s a path we’re on

And we have to find it

No one else can travel for us

We do the walking

We do the talking

High school passes by

I’m still left searching

I didn’t realize

People told me about college

An experience and a journey

It’s a way to find you

I went

I experienced

I wasn’t ready just yet

So I’m back home

My path took a small circle

Most people don’t go my way

I’m ok taking this path

A road less traveled

It makes it more interesting

There’s something I’m still looking for

Something I’m trying to figure out

I thought I had a hold on it once or twice

Then I discovered

I finally understood

I didn’t have a hold

I didn’t know what I wanted

Maybe even not what I needed

Still, I don’t really know

And yet, I’m still looking

I’m stilling walking

And I’m still talking

I don’t fully know me

I’m still on my journey

To discovering me
