identity
who am i
to want
to think i need
to silently grind hours
until time loses value
to sleep clearly
without sedation
or strangling hallucination
to escape predators
while equals falter
to expect good fortune
grows from moral behavior
to see through
the "decent treatment"
given by my captors
who am i
to observe
what seems to be
crucial social norms,
the kind
that makes every conscious sufferer
glad to be alive........
(albeit in brief elusive stretches)
.....and allow myself
to marinate in
unfulfilled desire`s
palpable bitterness
who am i
after enjoying sustained
existential bliss,
having set the bar
of mutual pleasure
through inter-personal connection
at dizzying heights,
leaving me
spoiled at youth
with a Vizier`s perspective,
to harbour even a sliver
of rational hope
my cracked spirit
may once again
rise to such altitude
who am i
not to accept
that i was granted enough
not to simply be thankful
and slither away
into grey wasteland

We are what we are, and will be ever are, no matter how many sides, we think there are...in dealing with life's hurts, disappointment expectations needs wants...but I ramble...love your poem, D, as always.

thank you so much !
it`s fascinating for me
to see which pieces
really connect with people ...
this seems to be one of them....
