That broken-hearted search to know and be who you are
R.J. Williamson
That broken-hearted search to know and be who you are.
Finding it, losing it, being wrong about it, being right about it but failing anyway, loving it for the wrong reasons, hating it for what it puts you through, hating yourself for hating what you fought so hard for.
And in the process, not being, not becoming, but making yourself into what you already are inside, not because you cannot be anything else - but because not being what you are is too painful to survive, no matter how much getting there hurts.
