Find myself

HUSH!

        You give yourself away

Only with sound
       
        Well I hear you

And so the game begins
         
          still you whisper

I whisper from afar
       
            And I get farther
              and farther
                away

From the sound I make
                      I beg
I continue
Yet you walk away

                  For I cannot see you

You never left
                    Yet I have

You stay within
                     
                      never have I been

Ever so close?

                          no..so dark


So confused?

                            I'm losing you


You're losing me

                              I am, losing me


You never left

                                  So the game begins


To find us from within

                                    no


To find yourself

                                      no


To find self

                                        I already have


You continue to walk away

I'm right here

But how?

                                            I'm here too


Also..here

                      And i always have


Still, i never saw
nor touched
                              I never left


It's not over

                            It never started


I'm still here,
and so are you
I'm me
You're I

Only for the time being,
I felt as if i were lost
And lost myself
It got dark

                        But I was still here

I went insane
              But it was only a game

And I found myself once again.

                      You found nothing

For I was never lost

                        only confused

and it got dark 

                            Now I'm back, right here

And here

I always was

                                 

Please tell me what you think

    Cool. Very nice. I really like the layout and simple choppy line structure and vocabulary, it really made this poem great, and flow amazingly well into the mind. It really had a kind of actual tangible mental beat going to it. nice work.

    wow

    wow, this was really abstract! At one point I kind of gave up on understanding it, but then I did again. I love how you were able to use concrete poetry to help you write this piece, it adds to the confusion that it's supposed to be (I think anyway). My favorite part was how you wrote "And I get farther
    and farther
    away" I thought it was really great! It gave me a sort of nice feeling in the end, I liked it
