Still need to find myself

“Who Am I?”

I’ve been to bars.
I’ve been to high end places.
I’ve been out doors
With spiritual people.
And I’ve been in church
With religious people.

I’ve smoked pot
And I’ve drank nothing
But water before.
I’ve driven fast
And I’ve fallen asleep
To someone’s safe driving.

I’ve not let people touch me
And I’ve sat in strip clubs.
I’ve let people make out with me
And I’ve sat in therapy.

I’ve lied, cheated, and stole
Almost went to prison.
I’ve spoken the truth, stayed loyal,
And given more than I’ve taken…

And yet no matter how
High or low I’ve gone.
How good or evil I’ve been.

I still can’t find a place I belong.

IOW you have never been to you. Are you stuck or do you want to be there?

@hippyjoe1955 no idea. There’s parts I like. And parts I don’t like. I have good memories and I have bad memories. But even the good memories I just never felt like they were good because it felt right…just good cause it was “fun”

@londonbr1dg3 Makes perfect sense. The feeling is common when people look for themselves outside of themselves.

@hippyjoe1955 think a part of it is growing up I did have a lot of things that my parents helped me with or “gave” me but the things I wanted to do (drama class, quit martial arts so I could focus more on my writing and stuff and a few other things that I was excited to do or try) they would say no to and make me do what they thought was best. Which is fine cause I understand now, but I never got to explore the things I felt was right for me…so now I’m just kinda roaming around with this “new” freedom trying to make new friends and just never feeling whole because of it

@londonbr1dg3 Here is an old song that might reflect what you are saying.
