Masha Kavuma Poet Free verse

LOST CHARACTER

I'm tossed left and right
Toold what to do and what not
Ld what's wrong and right
Scolded never appreciated,
Given orders not a listening ear
Frowned at never smiling
My works , hopeless and meaningless
My works hopeless and meaningless!

         My moves clumsy never straight..
You say
           "Looking like circus elephant..."
What not like the ring master,?
 I no longer know ma existence
          "Am I dust? or smoke
Do I live in a dream...,or is it an illusion?
          "Am I a spirit or zombie..?

                                  I can't perceive,
                            And I've failed to retrieve;
                              Who I was , No longer
                                 Know who I ought to be...
                                             
                                                                       mashka
