The Lost and Found

I lost myself somewhere. It seemed I just didn’t care Whether my life was good Or I was living as I should. I hunkered down in a lair Made of many “I don’t cares” And even more “leave me alones” Until my insides felt like stones. I stayed there many years; Outside stoic, inside tears. I knew I could never be enough. One horrid day I saw the light; A crack in the armor of my fright, And nothing since has been the same. I found the truth, I saw the game. Once seen it could not be undone Everything changes in the sun. What I found when the light came in Was myself, the one I had always been. I knew I had always been enough.
