But I am not here

But I am not here

A Poem by Lucia

I feel like a projectile without a path. A bullet misfired. The intensity of my heart beating rocks my body back and forth like a crib. Numbed by medication the panic comforts me to the calming echo of a forgotten scream. Somewhere I know who I am, be it in the ignorance of my past or the wisdom of my future. But I am not here.

Wow, this poem hit me really hard. Just the honest truth of it was stunning, like a blow. So often I feel like I am somewhere else when everyone around me seems so sure in the now. Amazing job with this poem.

I was worried the pacing lacked delicacy, but love how you phrased it "like a blow", thank you
