My person ebbs and flows
Formerly personally offended by the threat of change
My personality now has no form
I defined myself with my past
but my past has passed
and my memories betray me
Who I was changes
as who I am remembers
I cannot be my future
The future is dark...HERE...gone.......
Memories of who I was,
things i hated, things i loved
change from day to day,
my recall is tainted and needs to be removed from the shelf
If I cannot be who I remember
If I am never my future self
Who am I?
I am not who I am right now
my present person shifts, slides, moves, hides
I am nothing but who I am now
I mean now...i was wrong
NO! I mean NOW...no wait! wrong again!!
I mean here...I Mean This!...I MEAN NOW
