Becoming

As I sit in the silence

As I ponder my life

Thoughts overcome

Fears overwhelm

In the stillness of the night

What I once was

What I’ve now become

Shattered and torn

I’m temporarily fixed

By staples and thorns

Questions to be answered

Problems to be solved

Constantly changing

Never retracting its claws

Just waiting for its call

No remedies

No miracle cures

Just realization

This is who I am

And that’s all there ever was
