Recesses Of My Mind

weaving in and out through the recesses of my mind
searching for who knows what finding nothing at all
where do i go to next in search of the elusive me
i know she resides somewhere just havent located me
searching for the elusive me in all the recesses of my mind

i have seen me at her very best i have seen me at her worst
shes there somewhere just havent found her hiding place
given time i will locate me and bring me out into the open
to join the rest of us elusive beings afraid of pain sorrow
searching for the elusive me in all the recesses of my mind

me is a timid creature balking at potential threats to her
i try to protect her best as i can still she will scurry away
frightened by a thoughtless word or deed i begin searching
to bring her back reassuring her it was not meant for her
searching for the elusive me in all the recesses of my mind

this last search took longer to find she fled to her dark cave
it took all my reassurance and endurance to coax her out again
but here she is here she will stay i will not let her hide
making her strong to stand with me so we can face the world
searching for the elusive me in all the recesses of my mind
