See Me For Who I Am

It comes and goes, slips in and out
an endless revolving door.

An eerie semi depressive state
of non-thought, non-existence.

Momentary self loathing that eats away
the barriers of the mind.

Escape seems impossible in the drowning
of a now lifeless spirit.

Look at me I'm here barely visible
and yet I live, still alive.

Open your eyes see me for who I am
a specter of your inner self.

While you are yet alive, still breathing 
speak to me, I listen willingly.
