Who Am I

Who am I?
Who am I?
I don't know
I closely examine myself in the mirror hoping the question may be revealed.
I see the eyes are my eyes
They are empty, 
Dark like the deep regions of the
Universe. 
Emotionless
Fake laughters, meaningless smiles,
Dry cries gives me a false sense
Of human behavior. 
 
Who am I?
I don't know
I talk 
I think
I interact 
But I still feel isolated 
Abandoned by understanding
Deserted by knowledge 
I'm mysterious to most because
I'm unknown to myself.

Who am I?
I don't know.
I self mutilate to see if 
I feel the pain. 
I feel none.
I feel numb.
As the blood pours down my left
Arm, I'm relieved that I do bleed.
Suicidal thoughts flashes throughout
My mind
But love pumps my heart.
My heart reinforces hope.

Who am I? 
I don't know
The Death of companions
Has taken parts of my puzzle.
I'm an incomplete masterpiece,
A flawed design.
Components to who I am is lost
Never to be seen in this lifetime.

Stunning! Full of sadness and desolation, yet woven with hope.
