I'm Not Lost

I've heard,

because I am young

and I have never been alone,

that I need time to find myself

but I am not lost.

I am in pieces,

scattered about the earth

like broken glass;

I exist in the people I love.

I know who I am.

I am a daughter, and a sister.

I am an aunt, and a friend,

and one day a wife and mother.

I am the people I love,

I love myself because I love them,

and I am empty because they leave me,

and I become more each time I love again.

I am not lost,

I know exactly who I am,

because to love is not to lose yourself in another,

but to find yourself in them.
