Lost

Lost

A Poem by Jb

My words don't even flow anymore
I don't even know where to go anymore
Because my mind is closed off
With the pain just manifesting
Beneath a surface
That I cannot seem to break through
My world has been changed
So estranged
Because I've lost myself
I've lost my voice
I cannot even articulate
The suffering that I've encountered
These past weeks of hell
Where have I gone?
And when will I come back?
When will I finally measure up to
All the things I lack?
I don't hear the laughter anymore
I don't feel my heart anymore
I can't even shed a single tear
Because I'm too trapped in this fear
Please let me break free
Please allow me to
Relinquish what I used to be
I wasn't much to being with
But there was so much within this
And it's slipping through my finger tips,
The grains of sand
I can't even stand
For I've grown so weak
That I don't even know
If I can seek
Who I used to be
Where are you?
Who are you?
I need you
The flaws, the highs, the lows
I just want to feel again
The spring air in my lips
The fresh air in my lungs
But I don't even breath anymore
I'm not even living anymore
Because I'm clearly not here
Insanity is what I've become
Personified nonsense
My body, my mind, my sole so tense
Please let me break free
And become that person
That I used to be

if that's not a call for help, i don't know what is...i'll bet when your 'friends' leave comments, it's about your parade of words, and not about the bleeding person lying in the street
