Who am i ?



Who am I ? Who am I supposed to be ? Am I in the right place? Is this the right space? All sorts of questions pop into my head, and I am unable to answer it. I get lost in my mind, my thoughts confuse me. I'm a prisoner in my own body and I can't set myself free. I lose hope, thinking no one will ever find me. Are they even searching? Printed pamphlets with my face on that says "missing" But no one recognizes me. Does anyone know me ? Am I the face everyone sees but no one remembers ? I have no sense of whom I am. I don't know this version of myself. My book, but I didn't write this chapter. I could try to erase it. Maybe tear out the pages. Let it go up in flames and throw away the ashes. Who am I, and where have the old me wondered off to?
