"I
am
a worm
and no man"
these words I
read from the Bible
i feel within myself.
i
lost
myself
somewhere
along the way
and now with bewildered
emptiness, must somehow pay
a price which i cannot fulfill.
So
i am
forever
weighed in
life's balances
and found wanting;
wanting to regain inner peace-
not to have to live with this stranger
whom i do not recognize-but rather despise
thus
taking
from myself
my only sense
of being normal
my ability to feel
as if i fit in and belong
instead of being isolated in
this troubled existence that is mine--
in
this
world
of altered
reality where
little makes sense
the simple becomes distorted
and becomes time consuming and difficult
where whatsoever love that once may have been
is reduced to expressions of dismal sympathy
such as would be suitable for sad funerals
instead of in response to the struggles
of a splintered, shattered life
seeking only to survive or
at least to find some
glimmer of hope
justifying the
need to thus
struggle to
press
on
