One

These ideas, are they mine
Or am I just feeding off
Of this, cosmic consciousness

And then I realize
My vanity
As I strive to find myself
I fail to lose myself
As I should
And become, everyone

Often we strive hard to be someone else then we get lost in who we should be. I always believe that we should challenge ourselves and strive to become more however when do we accept what is.

It is so hard to find where one ends and another begins... we are so melted into each other in so many ways... Your words profoundly voice this wild world in flux.

"As I strive to find myself I fail to lose myself" Wonderful lines. While I write poems, I tend to ask myself whether the ideas in my mind are mine or from somewhere else.

It seems we all ask that question, interesting!
