Wither

Folder: 
Angsty Teen Years

I watch myself dying,

Not the entire me

Just inside

I'm empty

And confused

And numb

There's so much pain built up

Hidden by a fake smile

On a fake face

No longer sure of who I am

I watch as I slowly wither away.

I've written similar pieces before... I think quietly going into the night, away from self, from sanity, is the cornerstone of any breakthrough into reality.
