Fading

Softly and slowly fading My heart is aching Spinning out of control Life has taken a toll Just merely existing My soul is breaking I can't take this pain I have nothing to lose or gain Why am I here? What for Life is nothing but a bore Therefore I’m slowing fading Neither here or there just fading 3-19-18

Oh, Alexis. I can feel the pain and I know all too well what it can be like. I hope that you are ok. You have expressed this well with this poem!

Felt that feeling countless times, Alexis. This poem expresses that deep disconnection from life very well. Mighty fine heartstrings hurting poetry. Love and joy always.

Sometimes life can be so difficult. I can feel the pain depicted in your poem. I hope all is well with you and this is a fictional write. If you get a chance read Maurice Yvonne’s new poem. I don’t have anything new up myself but I thought I would help him get some support.
