MYSELF AND I

Walked down this winding lane
Maybe a little to the side
But safely close and sane

It was kinda fine
I had myself
And me was mine

Alone, but together still
Oh, it was mighty fine
Lively young, with time to kill

Then came the day with damage done  
I turned in reassurance
And myself was gone

Somewhere down the trodden lane
I had lost myself
Bewildered by the fog and rain

Myself I could not find
Alone and lonesome
In a forrest all but kind

Myself was nowhere to be seen
Nor could I realize
When it could have been

Myself had went astray
And for ignorance
A (desperate) lonely prize I pay

Interesting write. I lost myself once. The good thing about it is, you're never ever really far away from yourself.

That can be such a cold road to walk,
when losing sight of ones self
