Whom am I?
I seem to have lost myself,
along the way,
Or so it seems,
To those who look
But fail to see.
Hiding in the shadows,
I see my reflection,
A stranger staring back at me,
My mouth opens,
Sounds escape,
racing past my mind.
A voice,
That no longer sounds like mine.
How did I end up here?
Swimming in waters
That flow against me,
Waves that crash upon me,
Forcing me back.
I surrender,
My body Sinks,
My vision widens,
I hold my breath.
And fall,
Through endless moments
of confusion,
Knocked about,
by this illusion.
Movement,
Connects me,
Spiralling down,
Swallowed up,
By my own delusion.
The false one,
Follows,
Spying from the depths,
Mirroring the stranger
I have become.
I emerge,
Saturated with emotions,
That drip off me,
As I learn to stand tall,
To stretch my body
And take charge,
of this,
the holiest of wars.
The internal battle,
Threatening to devour us all.
