i say ‘we,’ so much easier than saying ‘i.’
i say a word, but what i mean is
something behind it.
i say, ‘we hide behind our other faces,’
but what i mean is
‘i hide behind this farcical lie.’
there is such loneliness in ‘i.’
such hollowness… such solitariness in knowing
there is no one to share your i-ness with you.
to exist inside a certain state
inside a certain ‘i am’
and to know ‘this oneness is mine.’
there is such angst inside
that dark reality… this terrible truth
i am delivering from the shadows.
