i had some semblance, it wasn’t much of one –
just a tiny semblance, often
made fun of by the other semblances
people would confuse me for someone else;
i insisted i had a small semblance, at best
like my last vestige of sanity,
my slightest inkling what you’re talking about, and
my miniscule odds of recovery,
my semblance soldiers on,
wearing its meagreness as a badge of honor
in no small measure
