Losing yourself

Losing yourself
*
Where are you now!
You are gone
Your mind is away
From your soul 
You busy trying 
To please friends
Who don't even
Know your name
No matter how many
Times you correct them
They just won't pronounce
Your name right, they just don't care
You are who and what they say you are
Take the hint, you don't belong
-
You see the secret laughter
Yet you convince yourself
They are laughing at the weather
They are laughing at the bucking dog
I'm sorry stupid, they are mocking you
Wake up, you don't belong 
Why do you have to feel always
Uncomfortable around friends;
You losing yourself afraid of losing them
Can you get the hint!
Smell the roses, smell the coffee
Your see the smoke
But you blind your eyes to the real fire
Fire yourself up, don't lose yourself
Love yourself before you lose yourself
Embrace your insecurities
Love your flaws, they make you you
