Who am I?

Flesh and bone
All of this
Materials that build my body
Make me what I am
But not who I am
Who am I?
I do not completely know

I am lost in the shadows of my own mind
I've been hiding for way too long
So long, that I don't feel like myself anymore
I despise this body that does not feel
This husk that seems so foreign
So empty
So unlike myself

If only I could turn back time
And remember
If only I could remember
Who am I?

The chaos seems far away
But it surrounds me
Just beyond the black sea
Waiting
It doesn't touch the water
The sea swallows all

What lies beneath its glassy surface
Is nothing you can imagine
Creatures that evolved in my mind
Grotesque beings-malformed
Twisted in so many ways
All of them dark and vicious
The gleam in their eyes are but reflections of my nightmares
Cold and lifeless
Yet not completely dead

Fear? I have no such thought or feeling
I have forgotten
I only remain on this deserted island because
I do not know how to cross the sea
I cannot build a boat
I cannot grow wings
Unless... No.
Impossible...
Is there no hope for me?

Why do I care?
I am meaningless in this world
I will use what little of me I have left
To protect those who deserve it

I am not afraid to die
I fear but one question...

Who am I?
