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
