Tatianna Leachet Poet Dramatic Monologue

Fallen

The silence is deafening
The darkness is blinding
As I stare into these ruins made by man
I see that this war cannot be won
I am alone in the dark

Sometimes I wish that it would all end
Am I just a stupid girl with nothing left to lose?
I am so sick and tired of my lust for desire
I am lost, but never found
Just get me out

I am spinning out of control
The voices in my head drive me insane
I got one last chance to make it
But I have lost it all
There is nothing left that I can do

I can feel it crush me
It brings out the worst in me
I cannot run away from the things that hold me down
I feel like I am drifting away
I am alone and no one can figure me out 

This world
I have had enough of it 
I am my own demise
Although I am breathing, I already feel as if I am dead
It has never felt so good to steal from myself

I am a prisoner
Things could not get much worse
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
Nothing will ever get better

Hold me down and let the misery in
Take all of me and show me what it is worth
Pin me to the wall and show me who has won
Because when all is said and done
I will be the one who has fallen

Richard Lamoureux March 27, 2017 at 8:27 AM I felt the hopelessness in a visceral way. I hope this is a creative endeavour and not a current reality. There are times we feel so alone even though we have many people who love us. Tatianna Leachet March 27, 2017 at 8:46 AM You are right, often we bypass those who care for us. Unfortunately, I cannot say this is a creative endeavour, but thank you for visiting my work :)

Dave Timperley March 27, 2017 at 7:57 AM Hi Tatianna, I can but repeat what Carl says. We all go through this phase at some point in our lives. I think it helps us to grow. I love the way you have put it into words. That is an exercise in rehab and earns you a 7 from me. God Bless. D. Tatianna Leachet March 27, 2017 at 8:00 AM Thank you so much. I'm glad that my portrayal of this dark place is sufficient :)

Carl Fraser March 27, 2017 at 2:13 AM I know this place well Tatianna. Excellent portrayal of those dark feelings within. Blessings Carl Tatianna Leachet March 27, 2017 at 6:33 AM Thank you for your kind words, Carl :)
