Chapter 2 - me

This poem was written at 1 a.m. April 13th 2023. I was feeling like a spectator in my own body. My surroundings were not real. Everything I felt was dampened to the point of nonexistence with only the dull hum of my old computer anchoring me. Enjoy the poem.

Holy stardust scattered in my sky

It takes me away to a place I can hide away

From myself, from the me that isn't me

Space ticks as I let myself go by

This feeling crawling into me

Seeping cold that muffles part of me

Why don't I hate it?

Thoughts too loud to be mine

The gentle cut of apathy

Is this all I am?

Distant worlds call the me that pretends to be me

An Eye, an Iris, for Them, not Me

I spin this web of fate

separate the me from the me who wishes to be me

Temper time through thoughts that threaten true me

Taking time away from tonight's real me

Their me get to fake me

My me hates me

This feeling crawling into me

Seeping lies that makes a part of me

Why don't I hate it?

Thoughts too loud to be mine

The addictive cut of apathy

Is this all I am?

Distant worlds call the me that pretends to be me

An Eye, an Iris, for Them, not Me

I'm starting to feels less like their me

I fell the weak grasp on my humanity

Tickling the wisps left of my curiosity

Driving me to find the you that makes you

I want to know all that is you

All that isn't me

I want to know what breaks you

To see if I enjoy the way it breaks me

I want to know how to make me

Know the you who hates you

Feeling lonely in this cloud

Passion driving, I can't feel the wheel

I dream of stardust scattered in my mind

I'm not the me who made you

You're the you who made me

This feeling becoming one with me

Burning embers kindle part of me

Why don't I love it?

Thoughts too quiet to be mine

Where's the cut of apathy?

Is this all I am?

Gentle hazy stars fill my heart with strings

Why did the distant worlds stop?

Oh...

I'm just a doll

Is this the real me?
