I thought I was someone else
Unwilling to risk
Convinced myself I had no need for connections
I thought all that was over now -
Reassured myself with my carefully woven illusion
A gentle touch like a drop of rain on my face, my mouth
The rational became irrational
The stone turned into an ache, a painful twisting,
a need
something alive.
When I wasn’t looking everything changed.
Slumber unending becomes awake becomes feeling becomes pain
Too much to look at
So I closed my eyes and lost my mind.
