Am I Already Gone?

in my deepest dark corners

worry chews at my belly

I fear that I have already

given in

to complacency

I’m Nobody! Who Are You?

I’m nobody. Who are you?
Had I never made that decision,

Mama

Help! I don’t know who I am.
Only yesterday I had an identity, a vocation.
My whole world was changed by one small cry following a lot of pain.

Metamorphosis

I have led many interesting lifetimes

Different cities

Different jobs

Different lovers

Different friends

I Am

I am

fragments of poetry

wisps of dreams

drifting musical notes

memories captured in amber

metal dragons

origami cranes

Being English….

Show no emotion, hold everything back
Say  ’I think we need a bit of support’ when you are under fatal attack

Just a Book

Was it my choice,

As a boy, to be this way;

To wake up every day,

Speak my mind –

Say what I say?

Am I just an actor

In another’s play?

Identity

Make a cloud, of me
My Lord
I am losing my identity, as a bird

Who We Are

Two eyes, are we not
Carved on the same stone

Masked

I am not who you see
Not who you think me to be
The real me, no one knows
If anyone cares, no one shows

It’s easy to feed lies
When I have a disguise
I can’t even tell who I am
My personality is just a scam

It’s become routine to keep up the act
It no longer takes any effort to enact
I’ve become victim of my own devise
And it’s leading me to my demise

Them and Her

They twittered.

They chattered.

They flattered.

They jabbered.

While she sobbed.

They lavished him with praise

They lowered their heads with grace
