losing myself

losing myself

A Poem by christina

I cannot remember who I am
I feel like ghost of a person
the shadow of who I once was

the smile that I used to wear
like my favorite accessory
sits high on a shelf, collecting dust
the eyes that shone with hope
are dull and sad with despair
my nerves are frayed and my mind 
is a roaring hurricane of emotion

quiet, I want to scream

but when the thoughts finally settle
and the cacophony fades to a whisper
I am left with a loathing so deep 
that the demons of my mind awaken 
they rattle its gates 
clamoring for their pound of flesh

today, I think
I will let them take every piece of me
there is nothing left worth saving.

Honestly that's the type of poems I love most ,
Brave and powerful writing that want to shout out all those thoughts locked inside , but still , you wrote : quiet

I am getting addicted to your words
