The Imposter Standing here as I try to cope, I find that I have moved beyond all hope. Lost, alone, in despair, There’s nothing left, nothing there. Waves of fatigue wash over me, Like being lost alone in an empty sea. The fog surrounds me, body and soul. I wonder when, if ever, I will…

Undone I am damaged but repairable. I am broken but fixable. I am lost but findable. I am not alone. Others have been here too. Most importantly, I have you. My body is tired and scared. It has not yet been repaired. I am filled with exhaustion and overwhelm. I Feel like someone else is…

The Fight There is a darkness that surrounds us, filled with vitriol, hate, and pus. It seeps into everything we hear, we see, and do; it wraps its tendrils around me, then you. Voices filled with hate and rage, like an animal starving, bound and caged. Eyes look down towards the ground; people move as…

Insomnia Insomnia, like a blanket, wraps itself around me. Not even the silence of the night can free me. I grasp and reach for sleep, But in my mind, the stillness I cannot keep. I walk the halls alone in the night, My body exhausted, too tired to fight. Yet release is nowhere to be…

The End Sitting in the empty hall My back pressed up against the wall Memories surround me everywhere Nostalgia flows thickly through the air Life flows by so fast  Each season passes quickly than the last Children grow and move away Silence is the only thing that stays The rooms, once filled with happiness and…

Eternally Alone I feel like I am living in a raging void of nothingness, Surrounded by the crushing walls of emptiness. Like a black hole, it sucks the joy and life from every pore. It takes and takes until there is no more. I feel disconnected and alone, Be it at work, be it at…

The Night Awake again, sleep will not come. I count the minutes, one by one. Silently, I walk up and down the halls. So many memories fill these walls. Lurking where the shadows hide. My loyal dogs stay by my side. It’s as if the outside world has ceased to exist. This small section of…

The Silence of Goodbyes Its be 7,670 days since you left this place. Time has not faded the memory of your face. I close my eyes and am transported back to that day. As if it just happened yesterday. The pain of contractions and the excitement of what was to come. Turning into frantic fear…

The Sea She sits upon the shore as waves come crashing in. Thinking about where to go, wondering where she’s been. An unstoppable force, in comes the tide. She sits exposed, nowhere to hide. The water slowly comes rolling in. She cannot tell beginning from end. It’s cold, deep, and dark. Like the future, bleak…

Dogs Big brown eyes with a caramel hue. A wagging tail greets you, too. The lopsided grin, the big black nose. Happy feet, tapping toes. They greet you at the door each day. Every time you’ve been away. Happy to see you, eager to please. With or without pedigrees. Sensing when you are sad. They…

Fading When all that is left is the empty space within. The nothingness permeates it all; there is no way to win. The silence is profound. Creating its own type of sound. It resonates within your soul. Preventing you from being whole. The malaise pours through your veins. Coursing like a runaway train. Will it…

The Journey Raging fire fills your veins. Every cell cries out in pain. The rush of agony feeds adrenaline. Then you come crashing down; fatigue sets in. Curling in upon your core. Body aching, tired, and sore. Your eyelids drop, heavy with sleep. Then tears fall as you begin to weep. Is there no end…

Chaos Chaos hides at night in the pale moonlight. Preys in the might of the full sunlight. It cowers in the darkest recesses of the mind, Spewing words cruel and unkind. It claws at the walls around our heart, Causing fear, while slowly tearing us apart. Reflected in the eyes of those we love. Raining…
