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.
