This is a poem i wrote over a year ago. I felt myself changing into a person I didn't want to be, in short, it scared me...


A Stranger to Myself

I don't really know you,
I see a stranger
You are just a memory unknown
embedded in my mind

If I knew who you are
would I want to be near you?
I hear you breathing
but are you still alive?

If you could take from me what I really am,
would that be faithful?
As time passes
will you last?

If I could read your thoughts,
would I still be alive?
I'm scared to know who you are,
because maybe you are me

A very perceptive poem and this shows such strength to recognise something within in yourself - I hope you are now at peace and like yourself again
