Three Years Ago

I lost myself about three years ago.

And I can’t complain 

because I just stood there and watched him go…

Was it because of me or my super-ego?

I was within -and- out of control.

I made my own disguise by just being myself.

Pretty witty! A brief poem that's meaningful, has rhymes and flow and is totally striking while also leaving some space for the readers to ponder. You've beautifully described someone changing into a new person by using the losing-old-self imagery, it's pretty much like the snakes shedding their skin. It's intriguing when you call him a disguise. Enjoyed this piece.
