I Find Myself

Adrienne Stallings, Junior, English & Writing, Bedford, TX

 

chasing dreams,

 

fragmented memories

 

of someone

not wholly

me.

 

Time

 

that will never

come to pass.

 

Gleaned

 

in the fractures

of my sleep.

 

Grasping

 

at a fluid gold

 

never meant

to solidify

 

that drips

away

 

for sobriety’s sake.
