Analysis of I Am Not As I Was
If the conduct of others
Hurt and break you,
The time mends and heals you.
Despite that
You cannot become the same one
As you were before
Similarly, whenever,
Others' behaviors broke me
Again and again
Time mended and healed me
Again and again.
In such a life journey
My actuality disappeared
As it was
I searched a lot
For the same one that I was always
With the dust of life's journey
Pain, grief, sorrow, and tears
Joined me
I lost myself; I couldn't find me.
