Misplaced & Torn By Gia

Misplaced and Torn

By: Gia Reverie

I stare in the mirror,

Wondering the reflections identity.

Knowledge and beliefs,

Entangled with;

Desire and hunger.

Every-time the scenery changes,

The faces change...

I change.

Inconsistency in my words,

In my thoughts...

Inconsistency in the walls

And the secrets embedded within them.

The product of long nights

In sweaty, tangled, blood stained sheets...

The product of even longer days,

In somber classrooms and frigid labs…

Torn between

Knowledge and beliefs

And

Desire and need.

Raised to be independent,

With a yearning to serve, to please.

Corsets and lab coats,

Books and ropes.

Sublimation of identity,

Fixing what isn’t broken.

Sucked into the masses.

Spit out...

Dirty.

Severed.

Crying.

Alone.
