No one can see me

No one can see me

A Poem by Rae Newsome

Can't you see?

I feel like I'm losing myself. 

Like I am losing everything that makes me, me.

And no matter how hard I try, I can't stop it from draining me dry. 
What will happen if I can no longer fight?

It's getting more and more difficult with each day.

The reasons to fight are becoming less easier to see.

What is happening?
How did it all come to this?

What have I done to deserve a life so bleak?

The light is becoming more clouded.

Shrouded in darkness. 

Sometimes I struggle to breathe.

My tears are endless.

A forever rain.

I can't tell if there are breaks in these feelings because they seem to always be here.

I'm always alone.

Even when I'm surrounded by people.

I want to scream "Look at me!


I'm drowning.


Sinking to the bottom.

My arms are tired.

My lungs are ready to burst.

My heart is ready to sleep.

Now, do you finally see?
