Kaleidoscope
By Northstar
Change,
I change constantly
not able to recognize
my
reflection in this mirror
from one day to the next
losing
my mind
in melancholy memories
of what I thought I saw
yesterday
a light behind my eyes
today in the looking
glass
my eyes are small and black
I'm afraid of myself
and there's no turning back
there's no going forward
just
sit here and change
like colors trapped
in a kaleidoscope
that never see the light of day
and never melt or fade away
they just turn and change form
but somehow remain the same
as I'm shredded and torn
and trapped in a cage
constructed
of the futility
of my anger and rage
that cant get me out
and cant help me see
changing and changing
but still
theres no me
patterns and shapes
from my choices
and
mistakes
create forms
of a figure
that I cant escape.

forms, colors, patterns and shapes are of course all of our own making as you vividly point out - and reminds us of the everchanging reality we make our own. There is no escape - in the never-ending journey - nicely written
