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

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.

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 :)

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.
