Lost
I have lost that sense of myself;
The bursts of passion I used to have. I lost the small moments of insight; The joy of exploring my own path. The persisting hope that the sun would rise Made me keep going through one more night Now I am old and weary; going on is scary I want the pain to stop but I don't want to die. When I care so hard that I am overwhelmed I say, "I don't care at all", instead. I am tired of feeling too unsafe to feel; If i can't be honest I definitely cannot heal I cant occupy space; I have to hide in shame. Vulnerability is their target; survival of the fittest is their game. I am being deprived of basic dignity; Confined to a place that won't let me feel fully In ongoing crisis, disconnecting from humanity Betrayal strikes repeatedly I put up a fight; Someone, anyone. please hear me I yell and scream, feeling such guilt Crying for 12 hours in a row till brain fog hits Shocked into unreality; shaken to the core Convincing myself I made it all up Self harming for answers, just to be sure I'm tired of begging you to acknowledge my pain I want to learn from this and move on from Blame I want to live a life i consciously co-created Surviving is rough and seems so overrated . Any reminder I am still alive is enough to set them off Going to the bathroom earns me the title of "low-life" I bend over backwards to fit to their demands I brainstorm, plan and prepare so I can bridge the gap So i can deepen how i care and understand It is not only a question of: How do I build a life for myself, beyond the situation; how do I survive? But also Why should I keep myself alive? What's the purpose in all this suffering? Why should I keep enduring it? What is the worth in any of this?Is running through a vicious cycle all there is? |
