His Are Mine

I’m not me today the
Images I see staring back
Through my eyes at me
Resemble the man I know
To be the man I am well
Supposed to be but he’s this
Stranger his hands are mine
But I can’t feel the pen as he
Pens these thoughts these words
Aren’t mine they’re his the lips
I use to speak his soul are mine 
The voice is still mine these
Suicidal thoughts aren’t his
They’re mine…
