Know Naught of What You See

How much did you lose or let go of

to find that which you clutch so tightly?

You’ve changed those colors so often,

how can you know what’s real?

What little left inside of you,

is that all you truly are?

The convictions so casually cast away

must never have had much meaning

to be forsaken in your endless search

for the answers and the truth

How easy it seems to be to strip away

so much that makes you who you are,

like the changing of a wardrobe

dress in that new identity

But take care in what you throw away

to never lose sight of your soul

or one day you’ll look into the mirror

and know naught of what you see
