Absently Present

I lost a part of me a long time ago
I doubt whether I will ever get it back
It was only recently that I learnt of it
Nothing was good enough for this void
I taught myself how to exist everyday
Without really embracing being whole
Finding darkness where light ought to be
Feeling pain at times of having fun
I’m being reminded that I’m not quite alive
That this is not a human experience
Just something that closely resembles it
But I’m naive enough to keep trying
