my own doubt

think about your life,
i've thought of mine.
how well do you know anyone?
how well do you know yourself?
im acquainted with many
but i know so not one, not even myself.
my values have been changed much
over years of steady influence.
i finally realize that i truly have
lost myself, to where i dont know.
for so long, ive thought myself important,.
for so long, i thought i was a leader.
i only lead in following
and in turn follow the true leaders.
ive become a mixture
of people past and present.
my life is just a vapor,
so insignificant in the sea of eternity.
so i pray that my unrevealed hopes
last longer than my will to pray.
maybe one day, maybe no day,
i will look around and realize
that im not alone in this feeling,
that im not so lost.
maybe im who i was born to be,
maybe im not to influence others,
but at least i will know my place.
not high with the esteemed, but low with the ignored.

now im alone, but not lonely like before

Oh Alex, this one really touched me. I liked
the way that you wrote with so much feeling
and heart.

I don't know you well enough to know
if these are your own feelings, or just writing,
so that's all I will say about the content.

Just know that I commend you for making it feel so real.
