*i Lost Myself To Them* Poem by ice johnson

I forgot myself.
{Copyright © 2009 by Ice}
I don't know my identity.
My age, my shape of my face, my lines in my hands.
I can't recognize myself.

I gave them myself.
Took me whole.
I lost my way.

My faith in god is being tested.
My kindness is on edge with the devil.

I blame myself but I want to strangle those
who used me up. Like water they passed.
Like water they came and swept me away.

I want myself back.
