Disconnected From Messenger

What does it feel like to lose all belief in yourself?

It’s the sorrow of being untouched

By hand, by sound of voice

Reflected

 

It’s a wound within the chest

A throbbing ache

Regretted

 

It’s a dense fog of the soul

Succumbing to bad posture

The body language of one who knows

Only how to falter

 

It’s the beckoning gloom of endless night

The tireless wake of the surf

It’s a shelf stocked with memoirs that gave up the fight

Fear of a premature birth

 

It’s sitting alone

Cast aside

By one’s own expectations

 

It’s choosing to cry

Without knowing why

The pity your only salvation

As someone who's shelve is filled with memoirs, and even my own sits there, unfinished. I understood this piece. Succumbing to bad posture and dreaming of the flesh that shall only be read through the words of a cold computer screen. Endless nights that will never be fulfilled by the one thing that can truly make me feel whole.

A memory in time loses it's pace, I feel you have bridged those that fade and those that are vivid. Well done

[Kristen R. Heyl]

Great expression of what many have felt in life. I love the last stanza
"It's choosing to cry
Without knowing why
The pity your only salvation" for I have felt that more times than I care to admit to.

Tinged with regret, lapsing into melancholy being thrown down by one thing and another, beautifully written, executed and thus i'm going to have very little to say. Its the first thing of yours I've read and ...
*speechless*

I can really relate to this piece! My fiance and I met on the internet and at the moment it's our main means of communication, when that isn't there, or available, it's devastating to us both.

This is incredibly written and portrays so well the feeling of giving up on yourself.

Favorite lines:

It's a wound within the chest
A throbbing ache
Regretted

It's sitting alone
Cast aside
By one's own expectations

Are so descriptive and evoke emotion brilliantly.

oh my gosh! I am speechless...and I am just going to have to leave it at that...WOW!

[RHEA CROSLEY]

A good description of utter despair and hopelessness. Some very well thought out lines. Fear of a premature birth. I wonder if life brings a reflection of our fears. Any way good descriptive write of a troubled mans soul.
