The Past Destroyed Me

I have no clear identity.

I only exist to those closest to me.

My identity is whoever I am to them.

My identity is whoever I am in a moment.

My identity is whoever they want me to be.

I am but a moment.

A mere memory.

A mere thought.

A mere emotion.

I am not who I claim to be.

I am not who they want me to be.

I will never be who I'm meant to be.

For who I'm meant to be,

 

Is dead.

 

Along with the memories.

The memories of those I loved.

The memories of those in which I cherished.

The memories of who I was.

The memories of who I thought I wanted to be.

Are gone.

All because of me.
