It’s Not Me

When I looked in the mirror

The image that peered back at me

Was unrecognizable

It was an imposter

From the past

Attempting to peek around

My present life

I once again had to

Shatter it!

In The Fog

A face appeared in the

…Fog…

I heard a muffled

…Voice…

Calling out to me

….I…

Tasted salty tears

…But…

There was no rain

…Wait…

I hear it again

…Someone…

Calling my name

…Running…

Now stumbling, searching for

…Direction…

Exasperated I fall to the

↓Ground↓

I don’t want to be

…Found…

Right where I lay

…Let…

←Me drift away→

…Hush…

The sound is getting closer

…It’s…

Softer and demanding

…The…

Fog is touching me

…It’s…

Cold and repeatedly

…Whispering

Veeeeeeee

It’s Only Me

If you happen to feel a brief

Draft on your skin on a calm day

It’s only me…

When you’re walking and a drop

Of moisture touches you

On a dry day

It’s merely a tear

Falling from my eye…

If the sunshine turns to

Darkness for a moment

Don’t be alarmed, it’s only my

Shadow …

Passing through the day…

If the night is darker than

Normal…

I’m hiding in the density of the

Blackest corner of the night

When you close the

Drapes before going to

Bed…

And get a glimpse of me…

I’ll give you a wave

Good night…

Or…

Good bye…

I’ll smile and you’ll

Shriek…
