I look
Sometimes
I might even
see

The self so hoped for
trying to be

I disavow
regularly
In purpose to

trying

the only thing

I can see
in failed
undertow

And Yet
too often said
I am merely here

I agree completely with the lady in white. The first stanza captured me.

"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.
