Identity of one
January 14, 2022
Fingers under my flesh, not mine
The bone inside is too long for these fingers
My body too large for my soul
Why is the me of my dreams a different person
Why is the me of awake so cruel and different
A soul trapped in the wrong body
With the face of a man who is not him
A soldier in a uniform too small
A helmet on a girl too big
My soul disconnected from the body
A body from another without the soul it needs

Its a short poem about me and my disconnect from my body. It doesn't feel like my own body a lot of the time. I tried to make it to where anyone can understand.
