Who are we?

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Lust took thoughtful minds

Confined by earthly things

Hanging by a thread

We have forgotten or never knew

All is not as it appears

Filtered reflections, empty answers

That nagging inner voice never rests, who are we?

There is hope if we care to know

-Camille Delaquise

This poem appears in The Precipice, Camille’s third contemporary poetry collection. Who are we? meditates on the crisis of identity in an age of distortion and desire — suggesting that beneath illusion, vanity, and material distraction, the deeper work of self-knowledge still waits to be claimed.

This poem is available as a contemporary poetry print on textured recycled card.
