Who am I? And how could I
Explain myself, since I’m not myself anymore?
Who am I? Forgot the rhymes,
All the poems have gone out of my mind.
Never slows down, it’s not quite right,
How confusing to keep changing,
As if the old myself had been left behind!
Nonsense all around,
Almost drowned in a pool of my own tears
And familiar grounds begin to shake
And I’m going down
Even my name sounds empty now
So please, tell me how I could not lose my calm!
What happens on the birth of butterflies?
What? How and why?
Are they but the dreams of the caterpillars?
Ghosts of logic whisper in my ear
Who what why are you?
That soon I might well disappear.
WHO ARE YOU?
Is this for real?
Nonsense all around,
I’ve been changed so many times since morning
And I’ve seen a grin without a cat!
What I’m driving at is
Even words are circling round
So please, tell me how I could not lose my calm!
Even you one day will turn into a chrysalis
Won’t you be amazed at such a metamorphosis?
Wrong from beginning to end
Why is it you’re not content?
Three inches is actually
A very good height to be
Yet one side will make you small,
The other will make you tall,
What I mean, you do not see...
The mushroom obviously!
What happens on the birth of butterflies?
What? How and why?
Are they but the dreams of the caterpillars?
Ghosts of logic whisper in my ear
Who what why are you?
That soon I might well disappear.
Is this for real?
Come and join our dance
Come and join our dance!
What happens on the birth of butterflies?
What? How and why?
Are they but the dreams of the caterpillars?
Ghosts of logic whisper in my ear
Who what why are you?
That soon I might well disappear.
WHO ARE YOU?
Is this for real?
If someone were to awake
The dreamer who’s dreaming me
Will I survive the break
In my shattered identity?
