Pass Myself

I passed myself
coming down stairs
straggled hair
dirty toy bear.

I passed myself
spiralling down
dirty, battered
Jaded old clown

I passed myself
Deep underground
Permanent frown
soles going brown

I passed myself
fleeing the light
relentlessly bright
The lunatic night

I asked myself
who do i see?
feeling me breathe
I scarcely believe

I must shamefully report this is over my head at the moment. I will give it a good mulling and then respond again!

Yeah.

I'm not 100% sure either.

I think it's about detaching from yourself and being able to perceive damaged aspects of your character, but not actually being able to clearly define what the damage is.

Yeah, I love it when they take on a life of their own and what you had intended is not where you ended.

I blame it on ryhme scheme
