The Bubbles Had Dissolved Anyway… Source: sxc.hu
I took the plug out.
The bubbles had dissolved anyway.
My body had wrinkled,
Absorbed too much.
Only murky water remained.
I lay motionless,
Dead calm,
My soaked mind, sponge sore,
Thick skin defeated,
Crumbling to the bottom of the bath.
Bare bones left.
Purer mind.
Purer body.
Cleaner soul.
Stained eyes weigh leaden
in my skull.
Dreams intertwined with
bubbles, dissolved.
The clock chimed ten.
I took out the plug.

I know who I am. I know what I am.
Yet I cannot find my identity.
Lost.
Missing.
Voided.
Floating in Abyss.
I think…
Maybe…
I possessed it at an earlier age
But to where I may have placed it,
I am lost…
In the backward motion of life,
Was that my only opportunity?
As I gaze through the pane glass window
At the life I once led,
Is the torture of striving for what once was,
A punishment … ?
Or a warning … ?
… For what I have become … ?
… Or for who I have become?
If
I have missed my only hope
Then I am blinded.
I cannot see
Without an Identity.
