Slowly Dying

I’m slowly dying

I feel my skin crawling off my bones

My heart stills silently itching to scream  

I’m being replaced because I haven’t found my soul-mate

That can track me down before its too late

I'm in a triangle shaped like a bubble

There is no way out but to keep on going around this circle of madness

I’m killing myself on the side line

When the sun goes down and I’m left to win this fight

My story will draw in only the shadow creatures

If you think you've been there done that in my shoes

Then I suggest you to walk inside my mind

A house without a home

A death without a funeral

A loneliness you can’t tell your friends

I’m slowly dying

All because I’m my worst enemy

This is very Deep, Anna...how can one love someone else when at times we can't love ourselves...that somehow we need that validation, to feel whole...I use to feel the same way thinking there's something wrong with me because I couldn't meet everyone's expectation...and then realized, I am happy...it's not me, it's them lol...I didn't end up with a white picket fence but I keep trying. A beautiful write from the soul.

"All because I'm my worst enemy"
True word. This is really deep. Poignant but a rich piece of writing :)

Drawn to the pure power of this. There is something about baring your soul, with not an atom of daylight between you and the world. And that last verse, it was like a sudden nightfall. An eclipse.

Honored, to have read this.
