Passenger

A Poem

As a child

You believe you are everything

That you could rule the world

Do anything

You knew no sorrow or pain

You didn't question who you were

Then you see the gravity of it all

The world rushes to fail and break your shoulders

You are crushed by doubts

Doubts of your yourself

Of who you are.

My eyes are not my own

Neither or my hands, feet, or mouth

I am simply a passenger in my body

Sitting back and watching through a lens

Going through the motions

Unable to raise my voice

Or make a whisper.

I wish could wrap the mountains in a blanket around me

Take their strength as my own

Become myself again

Become the conductor

Just become

But I just sit

Just stare

Just watch

As I become something else.
