Identity Crisis

Escapism
Not possible 
Now, and half a 
Lifetime over. 

Your hauntings 
Cannot be eradicated 
Until I get what
I want. 

Eyes brown, 
Watered down. 
As you continue
to hide from me. 

Tail between
your legs, something
I've seen before. 

Mirroring you
is a misguided
priority until 
I release you. 

I refuse to 
Undo this knot
And your tongue 
tied and twisted

I continue this
futile quest
for restoration.
