thoughts

i can say 

i know what i want 

kindness 

mercy

humor

i can say 

i know what i like

handsome

tall 

strong 

i can say

i know who i am

proud 

beautiful 

free 

but i don't truly 

know myself 

i haven't 

lived, learnt, or loved 

how could i ever 

know you

or 

the you i need 

if we're both lost
