I keep looking at myself
And it’s so hard to see who I am
Who will I be?
All I know is that I don't know me
Nobody knows me
Let alone me
What have I become to be?

My future dreams are shrouded in mystery
They come and go
Day by day, they run and blow
I am afraid of the days ahead of me
I don't see any future for me
I have been searching around
For the image that best fits me
Alas, nothing it seems
I'm a chameleon
Living in a dream with transient dreams

I've dreamt too much, yet lost too much
I know I am awake, but my mind is at stake
My focus is fading
Chaotically beyond my reach

My mind seems lost
And my body feels without a surface
Floating around in distant space
As I float
Waiting hopelessly for nothing
Colorless and empty without a face
There's nothing worst than feeling lost in life on so many levels. It's always important to remember that it takes time to discover our true selves and that there's no shame in feeling lost from time to time.

Solaces
I had long thought of it.  The last night here on Earth.  Tonight is the night that the comet is suppose to hit the Pacific ocean.  There had been ads running all over tv, the internet, radio, and on the streets.  The slogan was simple.  " How are you going to spend your last night alive."   On the other side of the Planet the slogan was opposite.     " How are you going to spend your last day alive."  

I decide to spend it with you.  I set up a mattress outside in my backyard and we lay in it and count the stars.  We talk and we talk about the dreams we had last night. We cry together, we laugh together.  We then fall asleep.  This is how I wanted it to be.  Swift and fast while we slept and held each other.  I dreamt of seeing the next morning and waking up with her.  We look to the clear blue sky and smile.  But am I dreaming?  Is this real. Did the world end.  I cannot seem to wake up.
Was it a dream
With skin the color of coffee what I wouldn't give to have a cup of her
Putting my lips to hers taking long slow sips warming my insides
Her fragrance is like freshly brewed aromatherapy healing my soul.
