To Myself

First reading the poem To Myself by W.S. Merwin I didn't have the slightest idea of what it "meant." To be honest, I don't think it has one specific meaning, or way to interpret. It's for the reader to feel as he pleases.
For me, the first two lines "Even when I forget you I go on looking for you" are impactful. The idea we are always searching for something even though we don't realize it is really eye opening.
Reading the title of the poem I began to have a "take" on the poem. He is talking about who he is as a person. Even when he isn't consciously asking "who am I?" he's always thinking about it. As the poem reads on it's clear that the no punctuation has a purpose other than make it more difficult to comprehend. It symbolizes the passing of time, and no matter how badly we want time to stand still or time to hurry and pass by, it keeps going without fail.
Towards the middle of the poem, the tone changes to more accusatory: "you who are not what they say."
He is analyzing himself, realizing he may not be the person who he claims to be. He is different, constantly changing but never acknowledging the changes.
We begin to see he was searching for himself for the entire poem, and at the end "you who are not lost when I do not find you" ties the poem together. Even if we want to be someone else, we can never truly not be ourselves, or even the slightest little piece of ourselves. We may sacrifice parts of our self because of the situation we're in, but we are who we are; we're not lost, we're just hidden until we can allow ourselves to be free.
