I am here

In a room.

I am here

Close to my doom.

I am there,

standing in the road.

I am there,

speaking in code.

I’ll sit by you,

while the world expects the other.

I’ll sit by you,

my nature like a mother.

I’ll sleep under the moon,

she’ll guide me on my way.

I’ll sleep under the moon,

praying you won’t hear the words I say.

I am hiding from my path,

I don’t want you to see me.

I’m hiding from my path,

I can never become what I am supposed to be.

I will let you go,

as I am falling.

I will let you go,

no longer stalling.

I will speak the truth,

or as much of it as I can.

I will speak the truth,

forgetting everything as I ran.

I’m clearly not real,

don’t you forget the lies.

I’m clearly not true,

I’ll be the one who dies.

I am here,

in a cold white room.

I am here,

patiently awaiting my doom.
