The Imposter

A strange clammy feeling

has crept inside me

and the world suddenly seems

so unreal around me

I feel a hollowness inside me

Is it a bad dream?

but the dream was the one

from which I woke up it seems

The world has shifted left

or has it shifted me?

Everything seems moving

yet I feel stationary

Naive and challenged

I lived life quietly

and the silence has now

strangled the reality

Immune and invisible

I am a shadow on the street

at the corner I turn

and The Imposter do I see

Eyes, hair and built

he even smiles like me

he is in the center of

what I wanted for me

In calm disbelief

I turn back to the street

The Imposter now lives my life

and has replaced me
