The worthy man

I looked, but I couldn’t see.

There was a smile, but no light. 

My mind said that I was complete,

But wouldn’t let me be.

I am something dark, somewhere unknown,

And all around me are expectations:

Talk of tomorrow, who I am,

And who I should be.

I cannot remember arriving here.

I do not recognise this place.

Looking down, I see someone else’s body. 

Is this who I should be? 

I will find this man again.

I will remember him.

I will look down and see myself.

I will remember how to be.
