Imagine

Disowned, unloved, hated, removed,
Kill me, push me, stab me, please,
release me, from this harsh painful world.
Help me get away, away from myself, from the world, from life.
This pain is unbarable,
I am too unfit, too weak to be here,
Help me, save me, take me, please,
The hole I'm in is too deep,
Too deep to see, to feel, to hear, I can't get out. It's too dark.
I have no hope, no wish, no dream.
No heart, It's broken, No life, you took it, No love, I lost it.
Nothing to accomplish, to build, to destroy.
I have nothing.
I have no one to help me,
Not to live, not to die.
No one. I'm alone.
Restless, helpless, hopeless,
I swim in this puddle of nothingness.
I am me, I am nothing, no one, invisible.
I'm not here, you can't see me, touch me, smell me.
You can't sense me.
I'm living, I'm dead,
I'm your worst nightmare, your favorite dream.
Hate me, love me, kiss me, kill me,
I am good-bye, and hello.
Wish me away, wish me back,
Switch my place, stab my back.
Haunt me, want me, be-friend me, too,
To live is not, what I wanted to do.
You did it once, do it again.
I'm here, I'm gone, It's me, no one.
Help me die, live, love, laugh, hate.
I want you to live, love, die, hate me, kill me, love me,
Push me away, take me back.
I'm nothing and everything.
Am I?
No, nothing, never, not now, not ever.
Who am I?
Guess.?
No! Wrong. I'm not anyone, anything, everything, nothing.
Look for me, you can't find me,
I can't be found.
Haven't you learned?
I'm not real.
Just a voice in your head,
A figment of your imagination.
Try me.

Boy! This is really good! I was a little surprised at the ending, however. It was a painful
joureny getting there. The words you use are powerful in the emotion they describe and
at first I thought it was someone hating themselves becasue of life's frustations but more on the outside but
at the end it was just the self-talk we all do. Could be both, however, I think
we all feel that way alot in todays world and probably yesterdays worlds as well. Very
good poem, it takes the reader on a fast trip, but one worth taking!
