For years I dreamed of finding myself
Of finally figuring out who I am
But today I’ve realized
That’s never going to happen
Can’t reach an imaginary destination
Whether it’s you or whether it’s me
Because we are constantly changing
Moving forward, falling down
Blooming, wilting
Ever-evolving day in, day out
Who we are today
Is not who we will be tomorrow
Needs, wants, values, goals
They all change over time
Sometimes without our knowledge
Or even our consent
To truly capture your essence
Means you’ll have to stop living
