“Who am I, anyway?”

(Villanelle)

By Adriana S.Published 6 months ago 1 min read

I was staring at the water one day,

its surface rippling with an effervescent grace,

and I wondered, "Who am I, anyway?"

༄༄༄༄༄

Where I was standing there was mud and clay,

flowers blooming in their adolescent phase.

I was staring at the water one day.

༄༄༄༄༄

The waves distorted my reflection as they swayed,

my essence twisted, my features out of place.

and I wondered, "Who am I, anyway?"

༄༄༄༄༄

My thoughts started to drift away,

memories flooding back, so vivid and chaste.

I was staring at the water one day.

༄༄༄༄༄

The water glittered like a mirror, a pretty array,

a sight so pleasant, it brought a smile to my face,

and I wondered, "Who am I, anyway?"

༄༄༄༄༄

Standing in this tranquil, serene getaway,

I knew I was free and safe, feeling nature's embrace.

I was staring at the water one day,

and I wondered, "Who am I, anyway?"
