I'm terrorized within, with little monsters
donning facial masks and running amok,
knocking my feet from any chosen path -
laughing at the instability they thus evoke.
I've broken up into splintered facets, with bursting
diversity, while a spokesman whose voice I try to hear,
fears my identity could fall apart, if I don't
(or won't) muster the rabble under unified command.
There aren't any aspects to be held as more essentially
meant to be ‘Me’, but I'll feel safest if I place
what traces of faith remain in those elements
which tell me they seek to hold the rest together.
If mine's a ship the seas might overwhelm,
it's best to see such hand is at the helm.
