Book of Ineffables

< CAUTION: READ AT YOUR OWN PERIL >

I've been walking through the books and songs

that I love, trying to latch on to something

invisible as heaven above See I've been trying

to find a trace of a better me inside my face 

If I try to cry and scream and shout, do you think

that'll let it out? 

I'm toddler scared, little child lost - 

because I can't quite reach myself after all this loss

The dread that I can barely speak,

is that I don't know what it means anymore

to be (me)
