Almost Perfect
Without any centre
my true self peels off
in layers of
memories, dreams, desires–
my true self peels off
in layers of
memories, dreams, desires–
some experienced,
others unfulfilled.
I remember not
being myself
my thoughts
and promises
yours or mine.
I will be myself
the day I catch the winds
with my fingers
to become fire
with a passionate glow,
melt and crystallize
into a rare and perfect glass.
