What if I....?
Up and lost you
Lost everything dealing with
Tossed you to the side like an old pair of shoes
Like an unwanted stem from a dead rose
What if I....?
Did everything but
Try to keep you
What if I....?
Let you slip
Let you fall
What if I....?
Gave up on you
Forgot your name
Dropped you like a pen
And never picked you up again
Walked away, never to return
What if I....?
Became you
Lost myself in my THINGS
Measured my happiness by the weight of my pockets
Measured my friends by the accessibility to night clubs
Measured my love by what LOOKED good, rather than the feeling
What if I....?
Lost myself like you
Can you remember you?
Can you decipher real between counterfeit?
You're continuously caught up
In the happenings of the world
But what about you?
Who are you?
Where are you?
Trying to keep up with the latest
Yet your soul needs to be renewed
What you value becomes old by nightfall
So daily you're chasing the next NEW
When will you stop
And return to you?
Have you lost... all of YOU?
19 & still harboring a mind of a child
Dancing to reep a harvest
And even putting-out to pay the rent
But what happened?
Your ambition turned from tangible to mere fiction
Somewhere along the lines
You got lost
Smeared your name on a piece of paper
And forgot it
Forgot your own name...
How could you forget something you were born with?
What if I....?
Became you
Would you see YOU
Would it be like looking in the mirror?
Would it help if we all threw up our mirrors
Made you face the world you've created
Realize you've lost yourself?
Would it help?
I hope one day
You see you
Before its too late
Before who you are becomes who you will always be
And the life you created starts to backfire on you
Until then
I hope this finds you...
Wake up...YOU...
