Who Am I?

Written by Cass Parong

I am the liquid emptiness of darkness

The forever impulse of fire
I am the flaw in the plan
The imperfection in the snow

Whispers scream in my head

Cries of yesterday’s shadow
My life is organized Anarchy
It is
peaceful chaos

I am a Christian
The Tao that I follow
Zen in nature, lucid in discipline
A free spirit of flames and shadows

Freedom running through my veins

Fire pulsating through my body
Darkness hidden in my
heart
Unknown to even
myself

I am the uproar of life

The catalyst of a pandemic
My insights are the leverage
Of a paradox complex

I try to erode the pain

Of fallen memories
It consumes me, until I am none
It deprives me until I am thoughtless

I am the darkness in a white void

So small, mistaken for a mere
Figment of imagination
Fated to only drift away

Fated only to fade into the night

Until it will seem like I have never existed
Only remains is the wondrous havoc
I am a cipher of dreams

The transparent fire, burning hope within

The purple darkness of a white room
No windows, no doors
Just a light from an unknown source
It doesn’t matter how I became who I am
All that matters is the fact that I am
