Writing: Who Am I?

I have lost the life I once knew
Nothing I say or do seems to matter much anymore
My self’s worth is on a blank
And my self-esteem is a runaway train
    Who Am I Now
 
I know I’m not the same person I once was
I’m not striving to be anybody but me
Those who were closest once, know not who I am now
Then whose life am I living if it’s not me
    Who Am I Now
 
Am I like a computer that has been wiped clean
Will I have to start over, to make a new me
How do I start, where do I go, can I be anyone I want to be
How can I really be me if I don’t know who I am
    Who Am I Now
 
I read about me and I used to be caring, quiet and considerate
Now my heart and soul are in shambles
My wall is growing, separating me from those I read that I loved
There is a hole on my sleeve, where is the heart that used to be
    Who Am I Now
 
I am lost, more now than any other time in my life
My love for anyone has turned up empty
If a person is distinguished by their personality
And their personality is distinguished by their soul
    Who Am I Now
 
Do you know, please tell me…
Who am I to be when the old me never had a life
That life that was never on to be. So how do I know
What am I supposed to do? The old me is no more
    Who Am I Now
 
Can you help find the real me
Do you know who I am
Will He know me when I get there
Or will I be damned to an eternity to never know me
    Who Am I Now
