What Have I Become?
I just kept falling.
Never landing.
The last thing I saw:
The terrified look on his face.
Then,
They found me.
Stole me.
The only thing I could think of was,
The fear of becoming a monster.
I tried to hold on to the memories.
The memories of the life I had,
But,
They ripped them from me.
They changed me.
The only thing I knew was
Following their orders
To make the world a better place.
They made everything dark,
So I lived in the dark.
No colors.
But then,
I saw him.
That familiar face.
My best friend.
He called my name,
Or, perhaps it was my name.
The phobia of becoming a monster,
Returning.
I tried to remember.
They responded negatively,
So, I pretended
That I forgot.
They agreed to that.
But, it was merely an act.
My deepest desire was to find myself again.
Then,
A ray of light.
A drop of color.
Lighting up my dark,
Colorless world.
He had helped me finally remember again.
