Who Am I?

Who am I?
I do not know
When I look in the mirror,
I do not recognize the person in front of me.

Who am I?
Do you know?
How could you,
You've never seen me before.

Who am I?
Oh, how I wish I knew
These aged lines on my face
show countless battles I don't want to remember.

Who am I?
I still do not know
These eyes stare back at me
with such contempt for the soul within.

Who am I?
If I knew,
Perhaps I would value
my life more than I do.

Who am I?
Now I know!
But, alas, it is too late
for I feel myself slipping away.

Who am I?
I wish I'd known sooner
For now the blood rushes from my veins as
I walk with Death to the other side
