Welcome
Welcome to my mind
it's easy to get lost in here
everything is such a mess -
a whirlpool of who I think
I am and who I think
I'm not and even
who I think I want to be.
It's a struggle to make
sense of it all
and if often gets lonesome
trying to piece together this puzzle
alone.
As you can see,
I am not myself.
How can one be them self
when they don't even know
who that is? Who they are?
It's a crisis, I know.
I thought I had become
lost
but it was even worse;
Stranded.
Maybe it doesn't matter though
since I'll fade away one day
and so will this writing
but until then I thought it would
help me untangle, unweave,
unwravel -
what exactly? Myself? My thoughts?
I'm not quite sure.
I never imaged
a person could be drowning in pain and
misery and sorrow and scream
at the top of their lungs for such
a long period of time without a single soul
listening.
I just want you to know -
Yes I want this paper to know -
that I am forever grateful
for the words you let me
express without judgement.
I see no other way of
my life ending but
by my own timing.
It could be now
It could be in the future
Sometimes I wish I was
transparent.
