I'm lost... here

Here... Stuck... Like an image in a broken mirror.
Eyes, teary. Wiping the glass, but the image gets no
clearer.

The painful background stands out. I'm out of luck.
Grasping for air. Trying to cease the hope masked in
terror.

Here... Still... Like a monument.
Nursing a heart that beats me for fate's frozen
moment.
Numb to life. Lost my touch. But pain, I feel.
Uncertain how to make do with a future, bleak and
faint.

Here... Lost... Under millions of winking stars.
Trying to chisel a home out of my dying Mars.
I can't afford a smile. My life is the cost.
A prisoner, behind my empty bars.

Here... Bleeding... In the face of death.
Trying to keep breathing pieces of a shattered
breath.
Enslaved by the fear that I keep feeding.
Lost it all. Seeking the edge of life, with all my
strength.

Here... Now... Designing fate.
Building. Future with bricks of 'Too late.
Determined to keep going, but uncertain how.
This feels like the end... Or, has the worst dawned
yet?

Keep Smiling

It feels like the end to me. You write so well. The worst will not see sunrise.

You have a way of tapping
your readers' emotions.
You are not an easy read
but neither are you too difficult
you challenge us to join you
and the end is just right...
