Already Dead

Today, I lay here and think of everything I have to say,

I can’t seem to find the words.

So many thoughts cross my mind,

The past

The present

The future

So many things that have come to pass.

As I lay here,

I question

How I feel,

Who I am,

Why I’m still here?

I can’t seem to even fathom an answer

I lay here just to think

And what I get

Is a mind full of

Broken dreams,

Shattered wings

And unspoken things.

Love

Friends

Family

School

All things that cross my mind

But as I lay here

All I seem to think about is how I feel

Confused

Anxious

Depressed

Happy

Angry

All emotions that cross through my body

As I lay here

Already dead.

I like this! All those feelings, confused, anxious, depressed, happy, angry...I feel all those at night as I'm laying in bed, trying to fall a sleep, but can't cause I'm always thinking too much.
Good write! It's easy to relate to.

Good writing... certainly feelings of depression or futility can certainly give one the impression of being 'already dead'... and that's what I take from this piece. Like a shark, we have to stay active, or die in our own minds. Nice writing...
