You. Are you still answering when ghost from the past rings? Are you still holding on to lost things? Do you still feel lovelorn? Forlorn? Abandoned by home and seeking shelter in the arms of those you scorn? You- Are you okay? Have you forgiven yourself yet? Are you still faking smiles in the sunlight while tears clings to your pillow at night? Are you still trying to fight when your mind tells you to take flight? Are you present? Your happiness- is it still evanescent? Are we still the same person? My reflection embodies confidence while yours reeks of negligence You're so cruel to yourself. Your breath keeps escaping you. Your thoughts run away from you. Your heart keeps beating, unwillingly because you won't let yourself be free You- I know you You're an agglomeration of anomalies, always flying high with the birds and bees, but as soon as you feel a breeze you fall back down on your knees You're much more than what the naked eye can see You're blind to your own beauty on the inside and within, but I can see I am you. You are me. #chai #you #questions #poetry
