***FULL POEM BELOW IN INSTRUCTIONS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ THROUGH THE WHOLE PROJECT*** i'm really proud of this poem - it's probably my favorite one to date because i feel like it conveys the message pretty well anyways it's about an abusive relationship and it's loosely based on 'Lose You To Love Me' by Selena Gomez (the 'i lost me' part) and 'I HATE EVERYBODY' by Halsey (told everyone to leave me alone then wondered where they went) anyways enjoy :) I LOST ME (an original poem) I lost me the day I found you My mind full of nightmares but I left all that behind Shed my skin like tears and kissed my sanity goodbye. If justice is blind But so is my mind Then what am I? I lost me the day I dared to call you mine. Fell for your sun-kissed eyes and stone-cold lies Thought I knew you but all I knew was plastic. If hope springs eternal But my fountain has run dry Then what am I? I lost me when I lost my mind too. Told everyone to leave me alone Then wondered where they went. If rose colored glasses are merely glasses If the truth is the beautiful truth Then what am I? I found me the day I lost you Picked up my old self and dusted her off. Introduced myself as the stronger one. We both learned the true meaning of fear We both smiled for the first time in years And for the first time, I spoke words I believed in. "Rose colored glasses are merely glasses If the truth is the beautiful truth Then, so am I."
