ME

When did I give up on me

And why was I not informed

I just no longer mattered

My life had been reformed

Into something I don't recognize

Yet who is living it but me

I somehow missed the memo

That I was changing company

I have the life I wanted

Not the one I worked for

But a completely different version

That leaves me wanting more

I left myself unnoticed

Sitting upon a shelf

I took care of what's important

Which was everybody else

But I've disconnected from my source

That allowed me to give eternally

And in essence, I've found

I've turned into the giving tree

I need to stop the nonsense

Before there is nothing left

I need to help the one forgotten

Which would be me, I guess

So long has it been

Since I cared

I'm not sure

If I dared

To try to fix me

To set thing right

I'm not certain

I can be sane

I'm fighting nature

Age and brain

And most days

I feel in pain.

It distracts me from

The here and now

Yet I must find a way

To get better somehow

I'm almost certain

I know what I must do

But now it's a matter

Of getting the energy to

I have to become

A whole new person

Yet my mind and body

Must agree

This is for my own good

It's what matters most

And what matters most

Right now is me.
