Thinking critical

Being in the critical

Had gone critical

And finding myself

Lost in the subliminal

Which for me

Had become criminal

Against my own self

And becoming 

My own worst enemy

And for the longest time

I couldn't even see

Just blinded

To what was happening to me

And couldn't find it

The way the path

That was meant for me

That was so critical 

And crucial to my life

As before I could see

Always being me

And unapologetic

Always kinetic

Feeling magnetic

With a constant

And confident

Aesthetic

Didn't fret it

Didn't sweat it

And before

Didn't forget it

As this was deep down

In my core

And the very fiber of my being

For more than seeing

Was believing

As this individual

Got lost and left behind

From what was most important

And vital

For I had succumbed

Gone numb

No momentum

Just stalling at idle

The story now untitled

For what remained

Was the me that had severely changed

And living within the shadow

Of my former self

But I do blame myself

And noone else

Because I allowed this to be

A self sabotage and disaster

That had become the recipe

And a catastrophe

Calamity

Going well beyond and against

My potential and capacity

As a lost individual

And unbecoming

Mind numbing

Stomach turning

Soul stirring

And couldn't get a visual

As I

And for I

Had gone away from the original

Had forgotten what

It was like 

To be me and had gone

Critical
