My Unraveling

This life of solitude;

Shapes a calmness, in a sense. 

I can’t stand the presence of people. 

So I sit behind my reticence.

My mind has been wandering;

And I can’t seem to find out where it went. 

The person I am now;

Is not the person that I was then. 

My mind no longer lives here;

It left home without consent. 

Forlorn and mentally reclusive.

If only I could make a friend;

I wouldn’t need this line to make use of. 

If only someone had a hand to lend. 

Intrusive thoughts pass through my head;

Like the very bullet that I’ll kiss. 

My mind left me unattended; 

And I don’t think it’s coming back again. 

I can see myself unraveling;

And I’m tangled in the threads. 

I don’t know who I am anymore. 

Into this madness, I descend.
