Real

Just a little short peom that I'm fond of.

 

I’m lost.

Like the thousands that I see everyday.

We’re lost.

Even though we can’t tell.

 

I’m lying.

To everyone, everything everyday.

Why do I lie?

To make it all seem okay for once.

 

I’m falling.

I let go of the thing called sanity.

I’m falling deeper.

Everyday I’m crazier even if you can’t see.

 

I’m dying.

On the inside I’m empty.

I’m a shell.

Acting happy though I’m not.

 

I’m lost

I’m lying

I’m falling

I’m dying

I’m not real

I'd like to know what you think. There's not anything I'm paticualarly looking for.

Wow... that's deep. Like chronicling a person going mad.

So many of us show an outward appearance that differs from our inner self. You have expressed very well what we all go through from time to time. Emotions are strongly presented here. I like it. ~Pamela

This is a very good piece. You capture the emotions very well and show all the different parts. There are many very strong points in the piece. Good job!

We all have these feeling at time, invisibility, no direction. The way you wrote it flows so well and I love the repeats at the end. Thanks for sharing!
