Stripped Bare

Stripped bare

There is nothing left of me

Heart, soul, faith, possibility

I've reached darkness thick and syrupy

It coats my nakedness

Alone I sit trying to form words

No one to say them to

So I give up

I can't leave my house

Too scary

The big frightening world

I read and think

Mainly how I could have fallen so far

The silence comforts me

I sit for hours lost in thought

Drowning in despair

How can this happen?

I eat pills like they will sustain me

Drink to fortify me

Nothing numbs the fear and pain

A desperate ache all over

Life has forgotten me

And I, it

Covered in the darkness I feel everything
