How Can You Know? (First Draft)

How can you know
what to do,
where to go,
how to be
when you don’t even know
who you are?

You can spend your time
defining yourself with
others around you and
never know a thing about
what makes you
you.

Who are you inside,
not the superficial stuff
everyone sees?
Who do you feel
that you need to become
in order to make yourself whole?

Can you find yourself
when you have no time to
discover what that means?
Time spent alone can be
more valuable than
time spent with others.

Learn who you are
without someone else to
define you. Learn who
you are on your own.
Otherwise,
How can you know?
