Losing myself

Losing myself

A Poem by joey
"

I used to write all the time to vent my emotions, but when I started bottling up what I was thinking I feel like I lost my ability to write or to connect to what I was writing. I hope this was decent.

"
I cringe at these words
for they are in absence of a spark
and the words I'd written that once seemed so bright
have become resignedly and unfeelingly dark

And I feel that I have lost myself, never to return
that in my own sweet misery, it was my own pages that I'd burned 

I've thrown away my favorite piece of me
the thing that set me apart
and I think now that I've locked myself
out of my own forsaken heart

I feel that I'm drowning now, in a sea that was never mine
trying to find warmth from a sun, that has long since ceased to shine

And I'm afraid I'll never be
the man I was meant to become
because in my own contented apathy 
I've become inadvertently numb
