Waging a war in the mind
Against forces which can only
stem from within
Deliberate yearning for self/destruction
Fear of fakeness
Not recognising what is true & tangible
in me - which part is the mask
Nailed into my being
Dishonesty burns - tears of lava
Why all of me feels like
A copy-paste
Always feeling unseen
Words stuck in my throat
The tension grows until
something snaps
Dire reflections in stale mirrors
Chasing what has already been
Is it ever possible to feel/be whole
Unified human-being
