Who am I?
by alexisleech
Tell me please...who am I? It all seems such a daze The curtains look familiar though, their pattern cuts the haze of uncertainty I feel about my actions every day, especially when I get confused about what I do and say Who is he? The handsome one who comes to hold my hand I fail to recognise him, but he always seems to understand I’m sure he’s being familiar when he kisses me on the cheek, but I vaguely recollect him doing a similar thing last week Who is she? The bewildered girl who often calls me mother I think the poor demented soul has confused me with another A pretty girl, with bright blue eyes, she looks a lot like him Will someone please explain to them, they’re not my kith or kin Surely they must understand, or are they all befuddled? Perhaps they’re just a bit like me, and get a little muddled For every day I walk alone, my heart so full of longing As I search the faces looking for... a sense of me belonging |
