I want to escape my body
And wander alone instead
Loneliness need not be sad
It's the solitude of my singular being

My singularity means
I count as one
But I don't feel singular
I am the culmination of
All the people I've met
And the ancestral DNA I possess

I have a thousand people inside me
Thousands of moments that altered my course of being
Small incidents that shaped me

Most days, I don't recognize myself
I am the ghost of who they last saw
The me that once existed

Maybe I change too fast
Or maybe my essence is diluted by everything around me

I want to leave my physical existence
I don't agree with it
I want to be a presence people feel
An essence of being
And maybe, just maybe, not exist
