Owning Me

by Ocean Chant   Nov 9, 2021


The Me I have been creating is for Another.
Though I came to realize it long ago,
I could still see a romantic beauty in it.
Yet, no Other has appeared for Me.
I changed my heart,
‘At least I should be Me for Myself’,
But I have never been Me for Myself.
Through confusion it became clear,
That is the Me I did not choose to never be taught
And that the Me I am, is also not a choice.
After all, it was a somewhat saddening beauty,
Now happily belonging to a Me soon for Myself.

    Something that is a true blessing (in my opinion) is when with all your heart you come to realize that you dont need someone else to be who you are, that doesn't define you and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.You be you, you do you. I'm sorry if I got this wrong or crossed the line, and I love this poem it's full of emotions.
