Shedding Skin

trying to understand

And breathe

Allowing the stress to flow

Out into oblivion

So lets think

Into the past

How has this happened

How are you shaped

By the hands of your creator.

You are radiating negativity...unwillingly?

You are happy in your misery

It is your comfort

Do you enjoy it?

It scathes me

When do I give up

When I am fed up?

I say keep trying

But am I willing

You are going downhill

But let me keep trekking

Up up up and away I go

Where the air is thin

Every breath is the labour of life

Looking down at you there

Hello, hello, hello

The echo so goes

Falling upon deaf ears

I can be held down

I want to smile

And sing

And bring sunshine

Lollipops and rainbows

Why is there anything wrong with that?

Have you become a nobody?

How is that possible when you were somebody, to me

Beautiful, strong,

Quite hilarious. Loving, tender and caring.

The horizons were bright. Warm. Laughter all around.

But have you found a cave in which to sleep and ponder? Unnecessary things

I have so many questions with so little answers

Looking away...wistfully

With a frown on my lips and a crease between my eyebrows

That of worry

I wish you could be something else

 

Let me be something someone else

Loves

More than you were capable of

Let me sleep and flourish in the warmth

Under a blanket

In the chair of a strangers life

I don’t know them and I don’t and won’t know myself

Just forget about everything

 

Except for one.

Listen to mother

She is right she is right as I write she is still right

 

Melt into molten depression

And solidify

Just like that.

Ah, the human stereotype.
