So who am I?

Pain spreads through my heart

Like poison from a well-aimed dart

Sadness soaks my soul

Like torrents of icy rain

Denials and deception twists around my mind

Like a snake coiling around its query

I feel like I am losing everything,

Everything that matters

Where have I gone?

Can I really ever come back again?

How can I lose everything that is dear to me

And still stay sane?

Why can’t the tears

Wash away the pain?

Why can’t the mind

Reason away the terror?

I am no longer who they made me to be,

And I’m not me….

So who am I?
