Self Misplaced

Lost in the dark

Tangled in silken threads

The mind screams out

To know what is real

And what is not

Suspended in disbelief

In the gossamer strands

Of reality's web

It hungers to feel

Not just the

Searing pain

Of loss

And confusion

But the cooling flow

Of nurturing love

And the stability of

Sanity

What am I

It screams

Is this all there is

I can no longer

Suffer the dark

I must know if I can

Break free of these

Enslaving threads

And enter the light

Of my own volition

Moving toward what

And who

I choose to be
