How To End What Never Began

My eyes can see,
but not understand.
This is my last effort.
I must swallow myself,
and feel forever, for now.
A person can only feel so far
until reality becomes impossible,
and I may never be a person again.

Wow! I don't even know how to explain what this poem made me feel. The best I can do is say, it's awfully nice to know I'm not alone on thinking "I may never be a person again." Beautiful!
