I Am Not Him

 Lost myself in the midst 

of the mayhem called my mind.


Carried up in a windstorm of word and thought.


"Who am I?" I ask myself,

trying to conjure something existential,

but crisis is what comes up, confusion.


When I couldn't find myself,

the only one left was You.


A name I could claim with clumsy confidence,

but I'll keep Him anonymous.


I stuck with this toy-train of thought, full of conviction.


"I AM!" I declare, "I AM!" 

I am simply sad, sick, and desperate for help.


All I wanted was to be more.
