I am peacefully floating in a sea of serenity;
gazing at the sunset, searching for my identity.
When are we truly ourselves, just ourselves completely?
I am a diluted version of myself, only being me discreetly.
What was once seen as serene is now defined by anxiety.
The waves launching me about, from myself into society.
Now I am just a product, I am no longer me;
a statistic in a burdensome pile of debris.
I am only one in that nameless heap of debris.
Only me, a tamed banshee.
Completely me, only to a degree.
In image form:
I absolutely love this.

I see that guitar in your hand in your profile pic and I can’t help but wonder, have you set this to music?

I have tried, many times, to set my poetry to music… I’m just not quite good enough for that, haha!

“tamed” banshee… I ain’t buying it. Not after reading your poems.
“untamed” perhaps… “unabashed” … your reads lean towards fearless, to me.
*** perhaps, because, your reads rock! Cheers ~
