Shadows of Self: the void within.

AI generated picture

Like a swinging pendulum
To and fro I swing
A little here, a little there
I think I may have lost my feet
Friend,
I'm spiraling.
Help.

Shadows and trees
I see one
I count two
Perhaps a dozen trees
I've lost my bearing
Where am I?
Who am I?
Someone.
Anyone?
Help. Me.

I know not what I am;
Perhaps a beast.
Perhaps a man.
Why am I here?
In this dark chasm,
This meaningless space,
Running in circles.
Why am I here?
This empty globe,
This flickering existence.
Why do I breathe?
Someone.
Anyone?
Tell me who I am!
