I am not me anymore
I think I am but I am not
What or who I am or was
Or could be is gone
The blackness of reality overshadows
All that was, is or could be light
Pandemic existence killed my soul
I am not me anymore
Foolish words and uttered phrases
Broken lies and chapters of deceit
The guardian angels of denial rule
I am not me anymore
The light that flickers is falsely lit
Triggers of hope swiftly gone
An endless treadmill of survival
I am not me anymore
Togetherness, unity and love
Are now diminished phrases
They have no meaning left
I an not me anymore
Self-centeredness and egotistical desires
Always been and always will
Rule life like an infected scab
I am not me anymore
I am not me anymore
What was taken I want back
One fleeting wish and desire
I am not me anymore
And never will be
