Shannon Grogan Poet I do not know?

Enemy

I'm slipping away,
I'm losing control,
Losing the fight
To regain my soul,
My heart is scarred,
My body is numb,
I look in the mirror
And see what I've become,
Nothing. A nobody,
Just a waste of space,
Not worth thinking about,
Can easily be replaced.
I begin to think,
All hope is gone,
No one can save me,
I can't carry on.
I'm trapped inside myself,
In my own lonely world,
There's no denying, 
I'm no longer that girl,
The girl who sees
Beauty all around,
The girl who laughs
And hardly ever frowns.
That frown is now frozen,
Proof of the new me,
An enemy of myself...
And that's all I'll ever be.

Sylvia Coulstock May 15, 2011 at 10:39 AM Hi Shannon-This is full of very strong emotions.One's I am sure many of us can identify with,having perhaps been there.I think that is the beauty of the ability to write poetry as you undoubtably can, it can also bring with it the gift of empathy.Although the content is not a happy subject I found it a very enjoyable read.Thank you.Along with other's I would also like to welcome you to SOUP. Love June(sylvia)
