I have tried to run from self
I have tried to deaden self
I have tried
to hide my self
I have tried to know my self
that is the self know by others
that is the self known not to me
I have tried to be the self
that is the self
that is known but alone to me
I have tried to catch my self
to wait for self
to urge my self to be
I have tried to reach for self
and I have been most cruel to self
And I have yearned
to be a friend to self
Yet of all these I wonder
what have I learned of self
