ID VICTIM

Someone stole my identity
I now feel I am no longer me
I reside in the pocket of a felon who can see
That she is allowed to steal me without penalty
She carries me casually, and each time she pulls me out
A small piece of me falls away - which leaves me no doubt
That someday soon I will enter a place
And the person I once knew as me will be wearing a felon's face
