"me" and Me

As I sit here, Wondering about myself, Contemplating my shadow on the wall, The shadow that draws Me, In this dark shadow I see, Webs of emotions swimming in “ME,” The person in my shadow, Someone other than Me, The person that smiled, That drew smiles on faces Has disappeared, And ended up being…Me, I stared with confusion drawn on my face, I didn’t understand myself, But the vision I was seeing Reflected a person that no one ever saw, Nor did Me, “ME,” Reflects a Mysterious Eternity, A person that emerges for a reason A person that tells Me things that Never were heard, I inhaled deeply, For I was moved by my feelings, “ME,” pressured Me to shed a tear, That burned its way down my cheek, My incomprehensible thoughts, Flowed in Me Like a salty river, Triggering nothing but confusion And irony, I felt a shiver in my spine, The effect of thinking, And the weakness of Me in front of “ME,” Increased my mystification, I wondered if this puzzle Would come to an end, And if I would ever comprehend, Or if the confusion would befriend, I realized that Me, Lives in fear, Petrifying life, And is surrounded by pessimism, “ME,” Refreshed my mind, Making Me realize the grief, That imprisons it… Guilt swam in Me, I revived myself, And rubbed my glaring eyes, I couldn’t stop thinking About all these thoughts, In a few minutes, “ME” has shown Me The weakness I hold And the misery that lives within, I glanced at my shadow again, Seeing Me, The person I am And the person that I’ll always be, I closed my tearful eyes, Knowing I’ll cry, But my eyes wouldn’t shed a tear, Instead, I felt a drawn smile… Surrounding “ME,” The person I am, The person always with Me…
