I lost myself

I can not be myself anymore


In the name of survival,

In the name of practicality,

In the name of winning,

I have lost myself somewhere.


I’m running fast

I’m running hard

But, am I running in the right path?

I can not stop to think

The next one will overtake.

In the madness to win the race,

I have lost myself somewhere.


Oh! The millions of dreams I had,

The things I held close to heart,

The love I thought will never depart –

All are lost along the path

And I have lost myself somewhere.


I had friends, am still so proud

But today, alone among the crowd

I was very rich without a penny

Now, just a beggar with lots of money.

I know, I have lost myself somewhere.


This is not the ‘I’, that I had always known

Alas! I am not myself now

And I can not be myself anymore
