If I Ever Knew Myself

If I ever found myself

from the maze inside my brain,

I would take this newfound knowledge

and be myself again.

If I ever saved myself

from the bullies in my mind,

I would not listen to their voices

and leave them all behind.

If I ever knew myself,

from what myself knows now,

I would take back my simple life

and decide what I'd allow.

If I ever keep myself,

from letting demons in,

I would care for body, soul,

and not let evil win.
