Who are you?

Where do you dwell?

In my mind only?

In reality as well? 

Why do you plague me?

What do you fear?

Where did you come from?

Why do I hear

these voices and choices

that clutter my brain-

thoughts ramble on

like a run away train.

Mystery darkens 

the way on my path;

the fates know what's there

their mercy or wrath -

the joy of  their favor?

I stumble along

each day I grow stronger.

The bitter sweet flavor

of tragedy -- then joy-

I have only been seen

as a player's play toy.

I know that's not true,

I'm a diamond - not rough,

one day you will see me,

that must be enough.
