In Darkness

Reality floats away from me like a balloon.
Trapped in that room and can't get out.
Only sounds are echoes of shouts, and I panic.
Claustrophobic memories clawing their way back, I vanish.
Zoning into empty space, my sorroundings are blank.
I reset, numb; I've been in darkness.
Cowardice: an impotence to help the self progress.
Can't pull my self up so I push others away.
From this try to stray, but something always makes me stay.
The precipice I'm on is an island, but there's no water around.
Willing to jump into and be the ocean, don't know how.
I built a wall around myself, will you help me break it down?
I've been in this pain for years, but I want to cut ties.
Someone hung the noose but I long to disconnect, have to try.
When it runs this deep, I try not to look in anyone's eyes.

Some people call this depression...I think its just a kink in the connection. I have walked this earth a million years lonely....wondering when life will begin...Here I just feel a strange humaness of seclusion...so I disconnect... lots of life, thoughts, and realism in this piece...voicing those concepts make an individual, a being, a poet.
