My Unknown Identity
i am, but a vapor in the wind
A flower that quickly sprouts up but
never blossoms
Am like a star with no illumination
and a moon with no light
a candle without a flame and a fire
that never burns
A sun that sets in the deep horizon
and never rises again
to myself, i am, unknown
I am, but a wave of the ocean
a hope that fades and a heart that
breaks
am like a traveller in the wilderness
a stream that slowly dries in the
desert
Am like warrior with no strength and
a warlord with no army
indeed, to myself, i am, unknown
i am, but an instrument of time
the opposite of positivity
i've done all the work but i keep on
working
i have all that i need but i keep on
searching
am like a villain among heroes and a
demon among angels
am like joseph without a dream,
daniel without a vision and samson
without his strength
when will i thirst no more
when will i find what my soul longs
for
if you can, please answer me
because
to myself, i am, unknown.
