What's Wrong?

What's going on...what's gone wrong?
I can't think or concentrate.
I'm not myself.
My emotions have hovered just out of sight;
Like a cougar stalking it's prey.
Now thwy've gripped me with their iron talons;
I feel the pain as they plunge deep inside.
My blood flows free from my wounds;
A deep, dark red stains the ground.
It pools around me, growing deeper, mixed with tears.
Up to my ankles now, I see my reflection;
But that's not me, can't be, can it?
No, it's not me, I'm not like this, I'm different.
This someone I see is in trouble.
He's been hurt, wounded badly.
Full of scars from other battles.
This person is scared, worried;
I see an anger, a rage burning in his eyes.
He looks at me and speaks;
Just three short words, "Let it go."
I laugh and scorn in riddicule, in ignorance.
He looks at me, his face downcast, his eyes filled with sadness;
Shakes his head and asks me "why?"
Before I can answer he is gone.
I stand there full of questions, all unanswered.
Who was he and why did he leave?
I turn around in anger and spite.
A pain shoots through my chest;
I look down, my shirt stained in blood.
I panic, filled with worry.
Another step, more pain;
Anger fills my body, my eyes burn with rage.
My mind is filled with his image;
Those eyes, the anger, the rage.
His wounds, the blood;
He was me, he is me.
His words haunt me, "Let it go."
Why...and how?
What has happened to me;
What's wrong?

Thanx for the reply DQ. And it's alright that you don't really understand the meaning.
I was just having a really bad day and I just didn't feel like myself so that's why I wrote it. Thanx again.

I like the way this was written, it seemed intense.  Excellent job on the poem
