Swimming in Blank Space

Swimming in blank space

Swimming in a foreign sea

I lost myself in stranger’s words

I drowned in their stories

Who am I? Who is me?

Speak of me fondly

Speak my name, please

Your silence is white noise

Your intentions, puzzling

Am I one of you? Are you one of me?

You leave me be

You let me believe

I remember who I am

I am here to be me

Whatever I choose to be.

I am living a lie

I am living someone else’s life

Or am I? I decide.

Who am I? I decide.

I do not swim; I fly.
