A forged Character
I am forged... fake... I am an imitation of someone who doesn’t exist.
Mixing the new and old never has a good ending.
I am lost between two bodies, floating, deflating.
I know my name, I know my age, but who am I?
A soul with no life lies inside me,
I call out, but I can’t hear myself,
Wrong or right?
White or Black?
Which way to go?
