abandoned

i am more than one person

i am a different person for each situation i encounter 

and a different person for each person i encounter

and i am a different person 

when i am alone at different times and in different places

that time when i am alone, calm and collected

and a different person

that time when i am consumed by rage at the action of another

and the time i feel compassion at their helplessness

and that time in the deep of the night 

when i awake from the nightmare alone and afraid

and even my ghosts have abandoned me

jeg.
