One day, almost overnight,
age is upon you
like a parasite,
sucking up your future.
I don’t have a hundred word summary. The poem itself is only 59 words but I like it and I hope you will too
The cry for help that goes unheard or falls upon a deaf ear.
Turn your back, ignore my pain, hide the shame, and bury your guilt.
A life destroyed by silence, no one cared
I feel like I’m slowly draining,
I feel like I’m drowning in my own flesh.
Breath after breath sinking down in my own mess.
Decision, decisions, choice after choice.
All black and mangled
