Lost

negative energy tearing at me pulling me farther from where i want to be eyes i dont notice staring at me faces i dont trust watching over me lies i once believed eating away keeping each day farther away tears fade away everytime i cry all the memories are lost so i might as well say goodbye everything i had has been destroyed with all my screams lost to silent noise all of my sanity ripped away by every single word you never seem to say

Your words are unnerving. If there is truth to them, if there is real misery behind them, you are in danger of living them out. That worries me. Are you in the care of a professional, someone you can talk to? If you let these feelings fester, you might cut short a very promising writing career. Again, if these words are true, true to the nature and depths of your being, please seek some kind of help. And keep writing.

This is very good, it reminds me of a friend. He's got so many personalities, he admits every day to be the lost one. You penned this well. My friend is in his own rehab right now. I bet he's going to love this. A perfect 7 thought. I'm going to share this with my friends. You are very accomplished. Linda
