lost identity

LOST IDENTITY
losing identity you fade to grey troubles a plenty so little to say
patched up somehow from battered beyonds embracement of life you grew
so fond
but now not quite those heights failed to reach where security and safety were
somehow breeched
leaving behind a shard of oneself frightened and scared affecting your health
from positive to negative in one breath taken riddled with doubts your
persona mistaken
from the happy go lucky no cares to behold now your empty discarded and
cold
to mull at nights injustices of man left shattered and haunted bewildered and
damned
dragged through mire self worth not much contorted bad dreams and so
out of touch
but bravery and soul you shalt not lose no matter your circumstances you
have nothing to prove
identity lost not of your own making outside forces saw you there for the
taking
but buried inside your depths of emotion is a heart of a lion with an
unbridled devotion
To succeed

your poem is powerful, trust.
it seems that when we find ourselves a shard of what we once believed ourselves to be, we can begin letting go of any and all dependence on the personas which have misdirected us from embracing our identity as something deeper rose
