was trying to remember
who i am
trying to pick up the pieces
that made me
looked back at who i was
only found a quilted personality
a cobbled self built by stories told
to a me i should’ve been
truth can’t set you free
when ignorance is blisswas trying to remember
who i am
when who i was
is a lie
who i am
trying to pick up the pieces
that made me
looked back at who i was
only found a quilted personality
a cobbled self built by stories told
to a me i should’ve been
truth can’t set you free
when ignorance is blisswas trying to remember
who i am
when who i was
is a lie

several really great lines in here…love how you turn a phrase…truth cant set you free when ignorance is bliss….like…and the me that was a lie…i lived that for a while..
When who I was a lie…
We all really dont know who we are as our mind / ego hides what we are in the chaos of senses… I liked your lines… so imagery…
‘only found a quilted personality
a cobbled self built by stories told”
