Something I Had Lost

I'd been searching frantically
     for something I had lost.
I didn't know just what it was,
    but for it I'd pay any cost.
Because I was discontented
     and restless deep inside
Nothing around me seemed to go right,
     in nothing could I find pride.
So I went where I could be alone,
     in serenity I thought peacefully.
And i found my journey was over at last,
     because what I had lost was me.
