I am not myself

By heartbroken psychosis

I am not myself today.
  Nor was I yesterday
    or the the day before.
      Nor will I be tomorrow,
        or the day after.

            I haven't been myself for a while.
              No, not for a very long time.

                 I've never been myself,
                     because there's never been a myself 
                        to be.
                          I am not me.

I don't know who I am.
