I’m me!
I was –
In past hollow, void of self – of poise trailing the grubby path of others; strived –
Fiercely striving to dance the chant of opaque tune
Discordant Harmony not for me but them
Whose chant it was; and always be – still I bent
Inclined to cacophonic melody of them; not mine
In days of yore – a ghost, many not see yet know exist
Not seen – not known by many; but in tales of woes and
Those of whimsical laurels – delusive success doable but
In fairyland – I was; aye I was!
In belated days – was amidst the herd in adulation of
Shepherds; shadowing paths they strolled
Gone soon! Days I wore pretence in charade of them – those
Ostensive patrician seeming to be
Once clad myriad characters like a thespian
Without an act, acting the lines of them – others!
Was that carnivorous lamb dwelling the abode of lions
Grappling with self, with nature – grappling to be
To sprout hefty size, abyssal voice, to be – come
But nay never could be
Afore gods – our gods; did made gravely orisons
Cravings untold that in cave beneath
Sink my craven, the same that precluded from
Befitting natural self: I was – sought to be – them
Was once a simile; in fierce battle to be
Be – come metaphor, to correct nature
The gaffe it did made – but nay nature made no error
‘Twas I the error that failed to realize whom I’m
Was once a masquerade, existing the existence of others
But now I am – I’m me!
