#indentity
My identity is both water and oil                     It does not stick Sometimes if i pour it in a bottle and shake really well, for a few moments I pretend that the SMALLER i get oli bubbles to be, the more blended it looks I shake and I shake But separation always comes back

Indentity separation
I heard it. A human voice. Connection established, solitude broken. The sound of a string snapping, (....) I hope I was mistaken. Silence collapsing under its own weight. Scattered quarks and anti-quarks shattering the perfect neutral harmony. The remorseless swelling of matter. Until no stillness, no Nothing remains.

The Observer Effect
Why can't I see a 'me'? The chaotic nature of identity I cannot understand. Feel like being set free inside a cage called 'I', But I still dont know where I am. I twist these words my own way, So maybe I own them. But how can I own anything? When I havent yet owned my 'I'. The devil inside me had been caged long enough, And it came out roaring. But I don't have anything, Much less a devil inside me. Inside it's filled with organs that make me live, But how can I live when there is nothing inside? Like the ship of Theseus, I am being replaced by other's ideas for me. Until, now nothing remains except theirs, Do 'I' now cease to exist - no longer a rooted tree? Truly a chameleon too much, So now theres nothing that is me I can truly touch. The river is beautiful because you are looking at it, Therefore I am not beautiful as I cant look at 'I'. A container that never stops giving to other's, But there the container called 'I' is hollow. Even with an aim you strive for, I can't achieve it when there's empty between both shores. Truly a building without bricks, A nest without sticks. An 'I' without a me, A personality without am identity. I just can't look inside my 'I' and see, Will there ever truly be a me?  -A truly anonymous, anonymous(me)

I am, I am not
write an anthology for which broken part of me?        the one that weeps for         innocuous souls too early departed,                 or the one that split                 their necks open, looking                 for gold? i’ll tell you, there’s no treasure in the eyes of the hated, and no hope in the minds of those who burn cities to the ground just to smell charred dreams -- staying alive is a risk that permeates the groundwater everyone in my life drinks from. i could be angelic or heretic, new found or lost to the ideas of men i once was, before led astray, before the radio chirped, & my intruder’s openness closed the hearts of souls uncold
