I am not feeling myself today

 In English we say

I am not feeling myself today

In poetry we say -

Wearing borrowed thoughts like ill-fitting clothes,

Today I am a stranger in my own skin.

My reflection asks questions I cannot answer,

While my laughter sounds like it belongs to someone else.

Searching through empty rooms in my chest for a familiar voice,

I am homesick for a self I cannot find.

My shadow feels unfamiliar maybe even foreign,

Walking half a step behind like it's forgotten how to follow.

Today I am cut off from the anchor of who I thought I was,

Drifting aimlessly through the sands of a fogged up mind.

Overwhelmed staring at an ever growing chasm,

Between yesterday's certainty and tomorrow's distant shore.
