What am I but something unfinished left in the dark too long until it forgot what light felt like What am I but a voice that learned to stay quiet because every word it spoke was turned into something wrong I stood where you left me between who I was and who you said I should be and I stayed there long enough to disappear I tried to be gentle but the world pressed harder I tried to be honest but truth only made me a target I tried to be enough but enough was always just out of reach So I started breaking in places no one could see small fractures at first then something deeper something permanent Now I hear myself differently not soft not loud just distant like a memory that does not belong to me anymore Tell me what am I supposed to become when every step forward feels like losing another piece What am I when I no longer recognize the reflection staring back at me when even silence feels heavier than noise Maybe I was never meant to be understood maybe I was only meant to be shaped pressed changed until there was nothing left but something you could blame And now you look at me like I chose this like I was born this way But you were there every time I broke every time I bent every time I disappeared So if you need something to fear something to point at something to call wrong Then look closer I am the villain you created.

What Am I
ice cold wind disheveled hair taste of liquor on my cold lips warming up my cold body wrapped in cozy blankets tearful eyes starring into the wide darkness coated by the sparkle of the stars guarded by the moon
