To Myself

I know we have talked about this poem in class and the class had discussed what they thought the poem was about but I came up with a different perspective of the poem. As I was reading this poem it made me think of someone that has lost themselves, such as when a person experiences a tragedy in their life or a change in themselves they can become lost. A tragedy such as loosing a loved one can make someone so depressed that they drop out of their normal routine and feel lost in life because they are consumed with that sadness. They no longer feel like the person they once were before the incident. A change in themselves, I pictured as someone developing an addiction problem to alcohol or drugs. When a person becomes an alcoholic or a drug addict, sometimes they remember the time before they became addicted and they feel like they lost that person they were before the drugs or alcohol. This especially pertained to the part in the poem, "I keep remembering you sometimes long ago,".
I think we might have discussed this in class, that the poem might have been about that theoretical journey people take to find themselves but because the poem kept talking about remembering, looking for, and forgetting it wasn't about finding themselves.

P.S. Sorry this was so short, this was just all I had to say. It might have been because the poem was short.
