Mist

The mist slowly enshrouds me
Encroaching unto my body
Engulfing all of my identity

I no longer fight off the hands as they start to pull
I only greet them as a friend
When this mist finally takes me whole
I can disappear for good

Until then...I must put on a show
I must wear my mask until the bitter end
Hold my overflowing emotions hostage

So no one can reach out to me
I don't want them to see me covered in sins
Sins carved onto me with my blade

I no longer deserve help
I no longer want any help

My body is drenched in essence
The rush is fading
Life is giving out

The mist tics the clock away
It whispers sweetie words to me
Telling me it's almost time
Time to disappear forever
