the lost self
The lost self who has been focused on performance, consumption and appearance
Oh how rewarding these activities feel, such pleasure from the other approving
Yet, how fleeting the pleasure
Only to be chased again for the next hit
Always almost satisfying, yet never completely
Leaving us wanting more
More things, more acceptance, more accomplishments
Let us break this addictive cycle
And find ourselves, our essence, our values
Not our culture’s capitalistic values
