Same as I’ve Always Been

Circa 2005 by Kili

As I walk along these broken streets
Paved in shattered dreams
Broken illusions…Grand delusions
It occurs to me that I am the same
Same as I’ve always been.

Day in and day out
Shattered hands, bruised heart
Past hautings rising once again
It occurs to me I am not the same
Same as I’ve always been.

Growing and aging
Learning and bending
Dancing and screaming
It occurs to me that I am the same
Same as I’ve always been.

Alone and wandering
Paths of shattered dreams
Cracked delusion’s grandeur
It occurs to me I am not the same
Sam as I’ve always been.

Changing and blending
Chameleon skin evolving
Habits fading and growing
It occurs to me that I am the same
Same as I’ve always been.

Mirror reflecting
Tears shattered glinting
Fractured light shining
It occurs to me I am not the same
Same as I’ve always been.

Human and hapless
Tired and worn
Weak and weary
It occurs to me that I am the same
Same as I’ve always been.

Hurting and bleeding
Battered and torn
Body again mending
It occurs to me I am not the same
Same as I’ve always been.

Open and honest
Straightforward and true
Loving and giving
It occurs to me that I am the same
Same as I’ve always been.
