The beginning of the final year.
A time to be happy,
A time for this part of life to end.
Yet a single event,
The blade falls,
And you loose the feeling of your body.
Unstable,
Unemotional,
Insane,
Scared,
On the brink of collapse.
That could describe me.
A few moments change life as I knew it.
A father gone,
And a mother in tears.
He walked away without so much as goodbye.
I don’t understand why.
Was it me?
Am I so bad...
Ashamed to admit this is his family
I don't understand.
The emotions boil,
And my head is in turmoil.
A train wreck of thoughts,
The basic stability of my mind,
Shattered as if it was as fickle as glass.
Just a person,
Someone to hold onto,
I can't hold anyone else up,
I can barely keep myself going.
Fleeting images,
Blank stares.
I don't understand why.
Why cause me this train wreck,
The train wreck of my mind.
I can relate to this poem.. its emotion is all too familiar. I loved it!
