Becoming

I am…me
Never asked to be anyone else
Even though I came close
To letting others take me away from me
Leading me from my true personality
Adventuring out into uncharted territories
Until finally realizing that it was not me
Sure change may be good
But not all change is good
Changed so much
That I didn’t notice the person I had become
My reflection no longer matched the person I used to be
I had strayed so far off
That I never thought I would find my way back
Well I’m not exactly back where I started
Simply because I chose a somewhat different path
Which produced a few minor changes
To my final destination
Now when I look in the mirror
I don’t see I used to be
I see who I am becoming
