Erin Ballerstein Poet I do not know?

Lost

negative energy tearing at me
pulling me farther from where i want to be
eyes i dont notice staring at me
faces i dont trust watching over me
lies i once believed eating away
keeping each day farther away
tears fade away everytime i cry 
all the memories are lost 
so i might as well say goodbye
everything i had has been destroyed
with all my screams lost to silent noise
all of my sanity ripped away 
by every single word you never seem to say

Barry Levy August 22, 2016 at 11:16 AM Your words are unnerving. If there is truth to them, if there is real misery behind them, you are in danger of living them out. That worries me. Are you in the care of a professional, someone you can talk to? If you let these feelings fester, you might cut short a very promising writing career. Again, if these words are true, true to the nature and depths of your being, please seek some kind of help. And keep writing.

Poet Destroyer A August 15, 2016 at 7:14 PM This is very good, it reminds me of a friend. He's got so many personalities, he admits every day to be the lost one. You penned this well. My friend is in his own rehab right now. I bet he's going to love this. A perfect 7 thought. I'm going to share this with my friends. You are very accomplished. Linda
