I Do Not Know Me

I've lived for eleven years with half of a century And yet I cannot say that I know me I know I need a huge boost to my self esteem But to myself I'm a stranger it does seem Can't say I've ever harmed anyone in any way Though billions of people of themselves have that to say With the passing of time I have seen many a change And even those I see as friends to me at times seem strange How can I know others if myself I do not know People to my life they seem to come and go I feel that to me myself is my greatest foe And apart from others I do seem to grow Into my soul I cannot even see And how can I know others when I do not know me.
