August Luna
I’m Losing Who I Am
Losing who I am
Marooned on this island
Covered in blankets
Can’t go home yet
Days blend together
TV shows blend together
All my feelings blend together
Into feeling alone
Fear keeps us apart
The unchanging and unfamiliar
Wreaking havoc on me
Losing who I am
Homework sits
Unfinished and unnecessary
I have all the time in the world
To feel trapped
To feel helpless
To feel lazy and useless
I fear I’m losing who I am
This is August Luna‘s first publication.
