true self

sometimes you travel
here and there, all around
as you realize something is missing
that you are no where to be found

between meetings and appointments
to events and deadlines too
you've lost that individual
that was once known as you

you've sacrificed part of you
thought about giving more
to keep up with the pace
that's left you on the floor

the things you onced treasured
the simple pleasures you enjoyed
vanished in thin air
when your plans were employed

when the wheels were set in motion
in the dust, your true self left behind
as something bigger, something greater
is what you set out to find

while you may have left friends and family
the greatest dreams of your past
the memories you treasured
that you promised would always last

it's not too late to recover
to find that self that's true
that's is your identity at its finest
still resides inside of you
