Feeling as though I am waiting for life to begin
as it crawls closer to ending
I am lost in a drowning pool
not darkness
darkness is only the absence of light
this is something more
like a black hole
so deeply attractive that it pulls everything to it
and those around me keep on laughing
thinking it will rub off on me
but I have no feeling left
my nerves are raw beyond feeling.
They tell me I can't give up
because I am important to them
and all I think is:
If I can touch other's lives
why can't I feel my own?
