"to be myself"

I would say it is quite fair,

yet unfortunate,

that it is only a rare moment

in which I am allowed to be

fully myself.


To be myself

is to be this girl,


to be myself

is to take back what they stole,


and yet to be myself

is more difficult than running through hell.


I gaze in the mirror but the specimen before me

is nothing like

me,


the monster of the swamp

or the fairest of them all

but that thing

that stares back at me

is not me,


it has never been me

and it will never

be me


because they stole me,


the shell and the villain

is not me,


I am the melancholic and the eclectic,

the eyes of water

and the soul of gold


but I am not

the blood that comes out of the arm

that dangles off of the shoulder under me.

Fragments of myself fell off until I had lost them all, I had lost the soul until I was nothing but a performing shell- I had forgotten who I was because I tried so hard to fit, I never wanted to but
