WHO AM I?

I AM JUST A FIERCE ILLUSION
A SHADOW WITHOUT LIGHT
WHEN LOOKING THROUGH THE MIRROR
I SEE EVERYTHING IN ME EXCEPT LIFE BUT
THAT’S THE LINE I HAVE TO ACCEPT
THOSE MATURED MORALS OF MINE ARE DEAD
IN MY FAILURES I HAVE FAITH THAT SOMEDAY
I WILL BUILD AN EMPIRE FROM THIS CHAMBER
OF TEARS
I DON’T KNOW LOVE,I WONDER IF
IT EXISTS OR MAYBE I AM RESISTING IT.
ALWAYS ALONE AND
LONELY STOWING MEMORIES THAT
STRAIN AND DRAIN MY BRAIN.
SLEEPING AND WAKING UP FROM THAT
SHAKY SHACK
WHERE HUMAN SHARKS CAN TEAR
UP THE LITTLE LIFE I
HAVE
PAIN REBATE MY HAPPINESS
AND THERE IS NOTHING
I CAN DO TO HARNESS IT.
MY HEART IS ALWAYS ON THE HIGH
WALLS OF WORRIES
ACTUALLY THIS IS WHO I AM NOT WHO I WILL
BE.
