this is the time they say
this is when you decide
this is when you change
if I’m doing all this deciding,
can’t i decide to stay the same?
must i choose my path
amidst all this chaos in my head?
today i am sure
tomorrow i doubt
the next day i am lost
who are all you who know yourselves
and could you possibly
introduce me
to me?

I love this poem, Ashton. You really encapsulate the confusing nature of self doubt and life as a whole
I enjoyed this poem its kind of like self reflection self identity type of stuff. Im always asking if I could introduce myself to my own self because I feel like there’d be more things to realize that way. Its a different perspective.
