Poetry at IE - Lost and Found (?)


Lost and Found (?)

Feel like I'm leading numerous double lives

Feel like I'm taking multiple dives

Into the personalities that I devise

Trying to find myself between the hurricanes of social and cultural complications and expectations

Feel like I'm drowning sometimes

But also find myself in the missing specs of life

I wanna be an artist, a poet, a lover,

a human being filled with butterflies and zero lies

How am I supposed to figure it out

Figure out who I aspire to be

Do I have to embody a to z

To discover who is me

He told me, take it easy

Not everything in life is so breezy

But you'll figure it out

He told me the answer

You don't need to have an intention for perfection

Just go with the flow of the hurricane you despise

Let the winds open your eyes

This is the journey of life
