Do you know your name?
Or has it escaped your brain?
You stop on the street and ask
"Is this my face or a mask?"
Before you can peel it off
You're distracted by the conjurer's call.

Street Light
                     Go Slow
                            Slow down
                            Get off the beaten road

Sleep tight
Just go
                                          Fast-Paced
         ­                                                     On this paved road

Hold on
To grace
Come home
After the Race

                                           I'll hold
                                           On Tight
                                           Try not to fly out
                                           The shattered window

Pieces of me
Drift into the sea
Wanted to built
Into the person I can be
But when I look back
It's like a flashback
Of memories that will no longer last
They melt against the heal of pain

Floating aimlessly in the water
Hair branching off from my head
Eyes clouded by my tears
Cheeks puffed out to breath
Blouse flowing around me

Clenched eyes are forced open
All around me, goldfish swim
Scales reflect refracted light
Moving around my hair
Using it as if it were seaweed

Colors flow into existence
Oranges and yellow open into view
No longer just black or blue
But warm colors that suffocate
With the blood flowing from me

She tries to drag me to the bottom
Smother and hide me against rocks
but I struggle against her confines
And as the fish scatter to take refuge
I open my mouth for a gasp of freedom.
