While sitting thinking of a cigarette
And the darkness of the room
I realize that I have forgotten who I am
And that everything that leads me forward leads me back
To not being sure of anything anymore
Like forgetting a face when you don’t see it
I have forgotten my likes and dislikes
What flaws I have and how to accept them
I have lost those who I used to care for
And as I see into the darkness of the night
I know that the black is not so bad
And that the day is so distracting
That I will have to remember not to let this feeling go
And that if I want to remember myself
I will have to look at myself without judgment
And that if I really want to live happily
I will have to start caring about other people including myself


I am the two-toed wanderer
