I've read my New Year's resolutions and feel like a failure. This is something I wrote in response.

A stranger to myself, 

I know not who I am, 

Lost in a sea of thoughts, 

A stranger to my own land.

I look in the mirror, 

And I see a face, 

But the person staring back, 

Is one I cannot replace.

Memories, like shadows, 

Haunt me in my mind, 

A past that I once knew, 

But now is hard to find.

I am a stranger to myself, 

In a world that's full of noise, 

I'm searching for my identity, 

But it seems I've lost my voice.

I feel disconnected, 

From the person I once knew, 

And I'm struggling to find my way, 

To start anew.

But I know that with time, 

And with a little grace, 

I will find my way back, 

To the person I was meant to be, 

And I'll be able to look at myself, 

With love and acceptance, and see.

A stranger to myself, 

But that's okay, 

For I am on a journey, 

To find my true self today.
