Who Am I Now

I have lost the life I once knew
Nothing I say or do seems to matter much anymore
My self –worth is on the blink
And my self-esteem is a runaway train
     Who Am I Now

I know I’m not the same person I once was
I’m not striving to be anybody but me
Those who were closest once, know not who I am now
Then whose life am I living if it’s not me
     Who Am I Now

Am I like a computer that has been wiped clean
Will I have to start over, to make a new me
How do I start, where do I go, can I be anyone I want to be
How can I really be me if I don’t know who I am
     Who Am I Now

I once used to be caring, quiet and considerate
Now my heart and soul are in shambles
My wall is growing, separating me from the world
There is a hole on my sleeve, where is the heart that used to be
     Who Am I Now

I am lost, more now than any other time in my life
My soul searching has turned up empty handed
If a person is distinguished by their personality
And their personality is distinguished by their soul
     Who Am I Now

Do you know, please tell me…
Who am I to be when the old me had a life
That life can no longer be. So how do I know
What am I supposed to do? The old me is no more
     Who Am I Now

Can you help find the real me
Do you know who I am
Will He know me when I get there
Or will I be damned to an eternity to never know me
     Who Am I Now
