Who am I today?

 

I am lost

within the feeling

of the hympnopompic edge

of regret and desire

 

I am angered

Rising above you

Looking down with anguish 

Upsetting the great ocean

with erupting force

Wishing you were nothing to me

like the gum on the bottom of my shoe

 

I find no way to compare

This inexplicable anger to anything

Searching for the answer

To this enervating question

 

My clenching fist

pushes you away

Kicking and screaming

Just to start craving you

like a caffeine fiend

needing their coffee

to get through the day,

depending on it to continue

 

I don’t know what I am

so confused

The world surrounds me

enclosing, tightening

I scream

My shrills echoing off

the deepest, darkest corners

of my pristine soul

 

But no one hears

these frightening sounds

Does that mean I don’t exist

if there is no one here

to listen?
