In my journey
and in my search
of my 'self'
you are but
just a guide
showing me
the paths
that I may choose.
You may be familiar
with paths
that you tell me about
but you are not a traveler
walking your step
in step with mine.
Without you
I would have lost
my way in the
jungle of confusion.
Yet
ask you to be
my companion
in my journey
I cannot.
for
I need to bear my own cross
I need to pick up my own pieces.
I need to make my own choices
I need to be on my own.
Lest I forget
I am on a journey
and am in search of
my 'self'.
