Lingering Thoughts Poem by Otha Gwabe

Like flashbacks the return
Make my mentality burn
Questions left unanswered
My mind a book remastered

Dragged far down below
Where the only friend is a shadow
Bumping into every wall
Stuck in a long fall

Why? , Am I? , What? , Who?
With all of this what do I do
I have paid many a cost
But all I am is just lost

Do I annoy,
Am I a… the problem,
It's my fault,
Why am I here,
What is my focus,
Who is the real me,
How is it always me,
Should I just give…..

How long will it last
Getting visions from the past
I just keep getting repeated
I guess I am defeated
