Losing myself, then being found
We've all been there. We've lost ourselves in unfortunate situations.
Lost in trying to please others
Slipping more and more into this shell
Slowly losing myself
The person I once was, has come and gone
Judging each step I walk
Nowhere to go and nowhere to turn
This shell is growing smaller with each jab
Thinking the decision you make are just right
Realizing that others aren't happy once
Losing myself to disappointment
Feeling the steps behind me evaporate
Cloudy judgement floating around in my head
Trying to please others has become the only thing
Keeping quiet in situations that should be spoke out loud
Hiding and listening to all that is going around
Losing myself slowly
When will I learn that I will never grow?
Letting myself become lost in this storm
Spread your wings and seek opportunities
There is more to life than just losing me
Lonely is a common feeling
It will pass when I stop pleasing
Pulling myself together and slowly finding me
Moving forward in a positive note
Seeking happiness each step I go
Peace and joy will surround me, I'm sure
Lost in others will no longer be a concern
Being a, “people pleaser” is a tiring thing. You can’t please everyone. As much as you want to please others, someone is always still unsatisfied. I’ve learned over time no matter how hard I try I will always let someone down. At the end of the day though my own peace, joy and happiness is all that should matter. If I’m not happy then it was all for nothing. Move forward with a positive attitude. Build a future for you. Don’t just sacrifice for others especially when you can’t please the whole crowd. Know that you can be successful and helpful to others in many ways. Keep hope alive, know you are doing your best. End of it all that is all that really matters.
