NEVER BEEN TO ME...

I’ve been to New York...

saw all there was to see

but I’ve never had the chance to go there...

never been to me.

 

I’ve been to Texas

I’ve even graced Washington, DC

but I’ve never had the courage

never been to me.

 

I’ve dreamed of going to Africa

and California is where I’d like to be

but my innermost person never pique my curiosity, I’ve

never been to me.

 

I’ve experienced love, no less

experienced heartache to a degree

but not once have I ever looked inside

never experienced me.

I can appreciate beauty

in all of it’s glory

but when I look at myself

it’s never been me.

 

How can I appreciate other things?

but then I find myself to a lesser decree

how can I find the beautiful person inside, if I’ve ?

never been to me. - E. Chantaye Watson
