Blank stare

There it was, I read again

I was looking straight at it

Words blur and reappear

Not who I thought I was

How can I be someone else

My life unfolds and cracks

Shatters into broken pieces

Muddled words slowly sink in

I just keep staring in disbelief

Thoughts circling in my head

Merging shock, grief, sadness

Just one perfect tear drop

All at once suffocating me

Slowly dying from inside out

Am I so different from you

Which I am I to be right now

Does the old me vanish

Can I be the very same me

Or am I now my shadow

Cardboard cutout of myself

Lost in a vast space a drift

Still looking for the real me

Alyson Bradley – April 2008
