To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives
-Henry David Thoreau

Sometimes I feel
like I'm falling apart
like I wasn't me
from the very start

I became so obsessed
with being better
that I became less of myself
I need to go and get her

Do you ever feel
like you're trying so hard
that you don't know who you really are
I feel like I have been chased away
the real me is just
a memory of yesterday
