 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
