AM I? I AM

Who am I but a mask the world places upon me?

Am I only blackness and shadows?

Can this mask connect me to a time when I was just human?

Who am I but a mask the world places upon me?

Is it ritual or oppression?

Is it my true existence or an illusion?

Am I able to release myself from this paradox?

From the existential pain of flatness?

Am I?

I am.

I am the mask I place upon myself.

I am the mask representing a collapse of time.

A ritual embedded in the map of my soul.

Blackness as origin point.

In darkness light is born.

In darkness heavens are held.

I am the mask representing a shattered world of illusion.

Gilded fragments resting at the edge of the universe.

Bound by the invisible force of dark matter.

I am the mask of duality.

Representing the liminal space of nothing and something.

Am I?

I am.
