Still Me


A cloudy night
Nights and days running together
Hard to keep track
Hard to concentrate
Feeling alone
Has never felt so lonely
Memory drifting
And a longing remains
Waiting for the clouds to lift
Revealing a clear sky
And a bright tomorrow
But for now I wait
Trying to remember the day
The week
The month
Temporary solitude
Is still solitude
Even the words struggle
To become a thought
To become something
More than a jumble
A cluster of memories
Flowing together into dreams
Dreams that are fleeting
And sometimes I wonder
If I'm becoming muddled
Jumbled fragments of me
Trying to remain a person
And not just a concept
Is it an existential crisis?
I cannot say
As fragmented thoughts
And partial memories
Float about my mind
Is this new?
Or have I just begun to notice?
I close my eyes
And I recall my face
And realize I'm still me
I'm still here
Whoever that may be today
Through the confusion and pain
I am still here
I am still me
