In the depths of my past, I've lost sight of who I used to be, I'm an empty canvas that awaits inspiration, Yet my uncertainty clouds my creativity.
I embark on a quest to reclaim my identity, She eludes me, hiding in life's intricate design, Amidst the chaos, my identity has slipped away, Left behind as a remnant of a time.
The world around me has done nothing but transformed, I find myself trapped in a state of inertia, A shadow of who I used to be Uncertain of how to break free from this enclosure.
Nostalgia fills my heart for the person I once was But alas time cannot be reversed or rewound. In this realm of ambiguity and doubt I must forge a path where identity is found.
As I navigate through this journey I will encounter obstacles and trials along the way But amidst the challenges there lies growth and wisdom obtained And perhaps with times passage, clarity will have it say.
So let me whole heartedly embrace this expenditure call And welcome all experiences that it may bring forth, For at the conclusion lies a melody uniquely mine And through it, my rediscovered self shall sing.
