23. Go

Folder: 
~The Book~

No need to wait,
A shattered man.
So many pieces lost,
The mad young man can’t be put back together.

So much lost,
So much destroyed.
A shell of a man,
Burning of emotions.
Tears and blood,
Stream down my face.

I’m a man,
Or was once.
Was always angry and tired,
Now battered and broken.

Lying in puddles on the floor,
The roof of my life,
Ripped away long ago.
Open to all the elements.
And no way to hide,
Blistering heat and shivering cold.
The relentless attack of life.

I’m sleepwalking through life.
Being hit,
Being beaten,
But I don’t feel a thing.
It’s time now,
To go,
Wake up
End the lie
Try to live.
Go.

"but I don't feel a thing"
I can relate to that line.
Of all the abuse I'd been though throughout my childhood years it never seemed to phase me.
