I’m tired of acting strong,
My soul hurts,
My heart is lost,
My mind is gone
I’ve lost myself.

My shadow drags heavier than my body,
as if Earth knows itself,
I don’t belong.

The silence is pounding in my head,
walls closing in.
Every breath feels borrowed,
like air was never meant for me.

Would absence be louder than my voice?
If my chair was empty?
My fake laugh was missing?
The little things that made me?

Gone.
Disappeared Forever.
