I was never satisfied with being the observer or the healer I wanted to be healed I wanted to be fun to watch like the many people I observed and loved at a distance I had a habit of seeing things from one set of eyes only I tried on different masks I felt lonely I felt numb There was nothing to me except speculation But I pushed this away It only came in between helping others I used to think I lost myself in guiding others But I had never found myself in the first place Reflective states would come in waves But I had forgotten how to swim The day I fell into the sea It may have been a river But I couldn’t tell Because I was just a pebble
