Don’t cry for me
enough tears have been shed
an ocean filled
with the salt of regret
the pains of my past
can’t ruin you too
the tide is coming
just not for you…
Don’t carry my pain
you have your own
no one needs
the weight of two worlds
you’re still standing
I’m learning to carry
my burdens and traumas
enough for a century…
Don’t focus on me
that’s my job alone
I’m painting my mural
yours already on the wall
you need your energy
I’m finding my power…
Don’t let my pain
let you devour.

My mind is scattered
thoughts askew
not myself
she who I never knew
disconnected from reality
never knowing the truth
a faceless ghost
telling me what to do
reaching for answers
that skim my fingers
unable to grasp
my thoughts
the new
my mind is a puzzle
missing half the pieces
the others are the same
an impossible thing to continue
I yearn to connect
the pieces of my mind
but I’m missing the blueprint
the one I must design
scattered mind
controlled by a ghost
whose name is mine
but face is unknown…
