Ghosts

A poem about myself

Ghosts

I’m just a ghost of my past self.

Someone who seems to be haunted by the memories of the past.

Reminiscing on things that no longer seem to matter.

I’m a shell of myself.

A hollowed out piece of who I once was.

I need to look in the mirror again.

Decide that change can sometimes be good.

Shed layers upon layers of my shell.

I shed my skin just like a snake does.

Discard the parts of myself that I no longer resonate with.

Constantly changing and healing.

But I still feel like a ghost of who I once was.

Maybe I need a second look in that mirror.

Just to look into my eyes and see who I am.
