I've lived lives

Thousands of lives

Thousands of times

With a million ties

Round and round I go

Every time I wake up

With new eyes

I open my lips

And ask, " ... Why?"

§ § §

I am reborn

Again and again

I mourn who I was before.

Then my heart beats

Deep in my core, I know

I open my eyes.

Again.

A different time.

A different face.

A different culture.

A different religion.

Another life.

Do you ever feel like you don't fit in your own skin?

My skin had been every shade.

I don't now, but I will soon. My skin will fit me, not the other way around.

How can my skin fit me, when I've been remade?

I had to grow into it.

I've grown long ago. Am I still now?

... How?

The world and I disagree what this skin is for.

I don't live in my skin. I live in my mind. Centuries old, with memories stored.
