Split

The self

By Casey SmithPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

Different people live inside of me

Sometimes they come out

They make me feel at home

And sometimes

I end up

Crawling

In my own skin

To make me

apart of them

They are always with me

Since birth

And dawn of time

A collective

Of source consciousness

Merging together

like koi fish

circling each other

In unison

To make a single human being

An identity

shaped

And formed

Both shadow

And light

The self

Constantly shifting

In personality

Constantly seeking

I destroy parts of myself

to become

My highest self

To be born again

And transcend

I am anew

The ultimate human experience
