Who Am I?

Every realm of hell she has traveled

Every battle of anguish she has fought

Every conundrum of life she has desired to unravel

Every sign of solace she has sought

Amidst the crowd lies her soul

Seared with scars

As black as coal

Her broken memories blur into oblivion

Fighting for a heart that was once one in a billion

Through the bars of life, she watches the endless road unfold

The storm inside only growing fiercer

As the night slips away, so does she

Like the dying embers of light that illuminate the sky

Masked by a pretense that everything is as it seems

She fights the palpable void within

She chooses to confront the wrath of the unknown

Yet fears the ephemeral thoughts of there being a reason for her sins

 

In the blink of an eye, she falls apart

With the sight of herself, she comes crashing down

She cannot beg for forgiveness

She cannot rectify her actions

Rendered powerless, she simply awaits the arrival of hope

And asks herself: ‘Who am I?’
