Changeling

Sometimes I feel like I've been exchanged 

and replaced 

by a substitute...

like the real me was stolen away

and put under a spell

and when I finally awakened

I realized that I was no longer me

but it was too late...

I had become the substitute

and the me I remember from long ago

was gone

off in some parallel universe 

being so many things

I could no longer fathom.

And so I unravel 

and morph into something else

entirely.

A being 

detached

from personality

mind

body and emotions

and simply an observer

of how all those things constantly change

and that I never was...

who I thought 

and now I wonder

can i ever be?
