Reincarnation

Where are you child?
The one who used to cry at night
The one whose biggest fear
Was a monster in the closet
The one who dreamt of wings
And flying amidst the clouds
You left me so suddenly
And I never got to say goodbye

Who is this child?
This person who fears the future
Who’s too proud to cry
Who has nightmares instead of dreams
You appeared so unexpectedly
And you took over,
Without me realizing you were here

You were reincarnated in me
I died inside and didn’t know it
