Notes About The Poem

Why Am I Why Is He

You have lost yourself, expressed the moon figure. 
You may wear a veil if you are not sure of your ardor 
You are a shadow falling through the vast fire. 
Sadly, nobody knows what your identity is, however.

You are an alien to yourself, they said again and again. 
Where do I fit in case I'm living without a name? 
I don't realize where I belong on this dead earth then. 
Alone I'm utterly lost as for who I'm caring of or aim.

Dweller contorts your body and torments your head. 
When you break the law, the fallen devils follow you. 
No one knows you since they lived in your mind. 
You are an alien to you, yet much you can pursue.

In the womb, you were a beating dot blind.
And you're gazing at a white shroud, bind.

Victor Buhagiar August 25, 2021 at 1:58 AM Sometimes I wonder why certain people comment on only one poem of yours. Sotto Poet August 25, 2021 at 4:01 AM Sometimes I ask the same thing, but I guess everyone has his own thoughts and reasons, I’m so thankful to your constant and exceptional support though.
