Falling Away From Me

FALLING AWAY FROM ME detaching I fade far flung from my body a walking corpse dissociating my mind trying to pursue yet suspended in time a nowhere place of nonentity so numb forcing snapbacks triggers whiplash a crack shielded by hollowed armored shell I fall © Kim van Breda—May 2014

Wow, very good, Kim. To separate ourselves away from our shell, just to find a more fuller version of who we are. Deeply expressed in this great piece. Enjoyable overall. Check out some of my poems, might find some you like. Peace.

I hope things are well...I get this way when I am over tired and let my emotions get in the way of things. Really well written...hugs Tim

Hi Kim, I think you have expressed a lot of numb feelings. I like how you are able to express broken love this way... Linda

I get that way when I play my guitar sometimes. Oddly enough, it isn't the same on piano. Maybe it's because a guitar is held intimately close, that one can lose onself for a time.
