When The Ground Falls Beneath You

Who am I?
Seriously, who the fuck am I?
Why am I constantly searching for myself.
Who am I comfortable with?
Is she right?
Am I the amalgamation of my social interaction?
If so,
then why do I feel so different when I’m alone?
Who am I?
I’m so lost in my own thoughts.
I fear they may break out of my skull.
I’m at a total loss, honestly.
Trying to claw back to ‘previous versions’ of myself that never existed.
Maybe it’s the time period I miss.
What does it matter if I can’t even figure out who I was then.
I’m fluid,
I’m a chameleon.
Why can’t that be enough for me?
I’m everything,
I’m nothing.
I’m hurting,
I don’t care.
Why can’t I figure out who I am.
What a cruel game this is, that we share.
I know that in my solitude, I am not alone.
Yet I can reach,
No one.
