I am:

Lost.

Who am I?

Where did I go?

Why do I not

Recognise this face

Staring back at me

In the mirror?

I am:

Trapped.

In a coffin made

Of flesh and blood.

Puppet master:

Unknown.

Who controls this flesh?

Why am I acting this way?

I am:

Confused.

This isn’t me.

Who is me?

A scared child;

Lost in a sea of strangers,

Wishing to be held tight,

Until she feels safe and loved.

An angry monster;

Determined to destroy all in her path.

Filled with a burning rage,

Towards humanity and herself.

I am:

Tired.

I was once more

Than these two beings.

I was me,

With likes and dislikes.

Now, I am empty,

A shell of my former self.

Now,

I am:

Lost.
