Mistaken Identity

I thought it was a dog….
But it was a shadow.
I thought it was love…
But it was fear of being alone.
I thought it was my process…
But it was a fantasy.
I thought they were my family…
They turned out to be strangers.
I thought they were strangers…
They turned out to be my family.
I thought I knew who I was…
It turned out I was confused.
I thought I was confused…
It turned out I was enlightened.
I thought it was my life…
It turned out to be a dream.
