Losing Yourself
Tell me why my heart beats slower
When I step out for a jog
Why my skin starts to shiver
When I’m basked in the morning sun
I try to keep my eyes open
And enjoy this brand new day
But with every waking hour
I feel my life energy seeping away
Out of my bones
Out of my flesh
Out of my soul and mind
Out of my fingers
And out of my toes
Out of my center—my core
This feeling I have cannot be explained
Because why do I feel dead when I live each day
I’m a shell for certain
A dead soul in this cursed body
And one day I fall
And fall
And fall
Into an abyss that knows no light
No salvation
For a lost cause like me
I lay mangled and still
My entire being withering in pain
With nothing else to do
But wait
And wait
And wait
For someone greater
Someone stronger
Someone much aliver
To take my dying hands and say
“You’re going to get through these times
You and I together”
