Me

The cruel claws
Of my own hands
Prick deeply through my skin
To the bone
I kicked, my voice ceased
Darkness my only witness
Watches from the other side
With a hanging smile
Cannot even lend a hand
To shield me from me

Seen by none
But me alone sees
My very bones, my heart
Feeds it every part of life

I cannot even hide
From my shadow
With the aid of darkness
But not from this me

Dire in dreams
Hidden from eyes
Traceable in trance
Borne in men - me
Before my birth
Its umbilical cord
Runs through me
This is the scar.

I

I against I
In this Innocence
Pervaded by no sense curse
You itch a war on me
My legion cannot hold
But clutch veins to sword
My flesh for my blood
But I own this instinct
Inside... stinging me
Stripping my hold
The world I see, sees me
Still hurries away with my flesh
These voices are not mine
These smiles are strange
My teeth though brown
Are free of stocked meat
No fouled breath of blood clay
From the pleading rivers
I am not me
I have lost I
The very sense of my identity
This thought is not mine anymore
They belong to you
They are your command
Calling every action
They are your claps
Obeying the thunders
The world is against my word
So I remain isolated
In misery, in me
Unable to explain
Who I am.
