    i feel like a million and a half pieces
    broken, scattered and lost to the wind
    i don't know who i am anymore
    the people that i loved and had fun with
    the places i've been and its experience
    the things i have done that hurt you
    punnished for letting my life tumble out of control
    trying to run my addictions away
    that's when i got trapped in the spaces between
    stuck on a two-way interstate
    keep on looking into the mirror of all things past
    not being able to focus on this recovery
    bc of this hole that screams bloody murder
    i'm sucked into a whirlwind of it's intensity
    i can't even breathe myself alive anymore
    locked away behind a barren cage
    and all i can focus upon are my convulsing hands
    i want to be normal and human again
    but this surveillance is what's killing me

    chameleon
    changing constantly
    wandering about
    with nothing stable
    about myself
    no clear-cut identity
    nothing stable
    about my character

    sometimes i feel like i lose myself
    in other people
    that i am only a copy of the others
    pieces of others are in me

    i no longer know how i should be

    my image of myself
    is only an imperfect illusion

    sometimes i feel like i’ve been broken into pieces
    that i’m trying to gather
    to be complete again
    not scattered all over the place

    i put on various masks
    sometimes i get tired of this game
    i run away and never come back
    when my masks are about to fall

    i wrote this poem while i was in rehab.
    for doing drugs for a long time.
    and then going a while without anything AT ALL.
    it wrecks havoc on your body.
    you feel lost, like you don't know who you are anymore.
    it sucks, the worst feeling on the planet.
    worse than depression, lol.
