I Am

I was lost

Confused

Sad

I was angry at the world

At myself

I felt useless

Like I didn’t belong

Like it was just me

I was cold

Didn't let anyone in

Searching for anything

To fill in for what was missing

To distract myself from me

I was trapped

Locked away in my mind

And my room

Not wanting to see anyone

Not even myself

Though I didn’t want to

I kept fighting

I am still confused,

But finding my way

I am still finding who I am

Finding what makes me Akasha

I am still struggling

I am still learning what makes me beautiful

Inside and out

I am learning to express myself

To be me in my truest form

Every day is a battle in my mind

To be me

To be free

I am learning

Everyday

I discover new things about myself

I am learning

That the only thing stopping me from being myself

Is me

I will find my place

Within myself

And within those who love me

A place that will help me find true happiness

I will be successful

Not through wealth

But through my achievements

I will always struggle

But i won't let it control me

I will learn to use it to make me stronger

I will learn to be me

Through all the flaws

I will continue to fight

Because every day is a fight to be found

I was lost

But being lost is temporary,

You can always be found

Even if you get lost again

You will be found
