Me's

a poem by Codey

  1. The me that was is broken,
  2. in desperate need of repair.
  3. the layers of my life peeled back,
  4. the broken parts laid bare.
  5. The essence of me is hidden,
  6. lost in the blather of a crowd.
  7. Like grains of sand and pebbles
  8. in a field that's freshly plowed.
  9.  
  10. The white-coats gather round,
  11. deciding which parts to replace,
  12. further obscuring the me that was
  13. and making it harder to trace.
  14. The me that is stands watching
  15. in wonderment and wide eyed,
  16. as broken parts and pieces
  17. are casually tossed aside.
  18.  
  19. Pieces not deemed necessary,
  20. are scheduled to be replaced.
  21. Sorted into piles to keep
  22. and piles to be labeled as waste.
  23. The me that’s meant to emerge
  24. I’ll have to wait to see.
  25. Will it be the me I was, the me I am
  26. or a me that’s yet to be?
