Searching

( a poem for when you miss who you were )

You can spend your whole life searching
Or, you can bring yourself back to the here and now
And realise that you’re wasting so much time
Searching
You’re looking for answers
Reaching for the next best thing
Distracting yourself
Yet you’ll never find what you’re looking for
Because you don’t know what you’re looking for
There - is nothing
Only now
The present
Today
What you’re looking for is you
Amongst a sea of distraction and noise
What you’re looking for
Is and was
Right under your nose all along
