There’s more than one of me… and none of them agree. ⸻ I traced a thought Until it screamed It curled around The in-between Reflections twitch Inside my head The mirror lied Or maybe bled ⸻ I speak aloud To test the sound But echoes come From underground ⸻ SPLINTERMIND — SHARP AND STILL I’M NOT BROKEN, JUST OVERFILLED WHISPERS FIGHT BEHIND MY EYES WHO AM I — AND WHO DECIDES? I speak aloud To test the sound But echoes come From underground ⸻ SPLINTERMIND — SHARP AND STILL I’M NOT BROKEN, JUST OVERFILLED WHISPERS FIGHT BEHIND MY EYES WHO AM I — AND WHO DECIDES? Thoughts with teeth Gnaw through my calm I hum to hide The mental psalm Some thoughts are mine Some wear my face They talk in loops And shift their place ⸻ I am the voice And the receiver The inmate And the deceiver ⸻ SPLINTERMIND — THREADS UNDONE I COUNT THE PIECES, LOST IN ONE STITCHED BY MEMORY, TORN BY TIME I’M COMING APART IN PATTERNS THAT RHYME ⸻ Don’t medicate The map I drew The cracks reveal The hidden you The static sings In perfect code The fracture speaks A newer mode ⸻ I am the voice And the receiver The inmate And the deceiver SPLINTERMIND — I’VE SEEN TOO MUCH TRUTH LIKE FLESH, TEARS WHEN TOUCHED IF THIS IS ME, THEN WHO WERE THEY? IF THIS IS REAL… I HOPE I STAY
