i become like a sponge -
always absorbing, afterwards hurting and further hoarding all the behaviours i've stolen, perhaps borrowed?

it soaks me 'till i feel as heavy, as my strength cannot carry. feels like i'm drowning, about to fall beneath the surface of deep waters.

then, i would reach for a helping hand to save ME. another version of the actual me perhaps. how could i know?

i don't know. not myself, not this crafted cluster of other people's feelings and habits placed onto my face, not this reflection that technically mine, which doesn't feel like me at all...
