Sinking

Things
have 
been 
difficult
to say
the
least.

To say the most
would take
too many words
and would 
leave us both
feeling
rather 
uncomfortable.

But 
I want you 
to know
that I am 
fine.
Just.
Fine.

I am
sinking
deeper
into
myself.

I hardly recognize 
my own reflection

My voice
irritates
even myself.

How is it
that it is myself
whom I hate
the most?

I don't 
know.

I wish I had an answer.

keep
sinking
deeper
into
myself
and I am calling
screaming
for help
but my cries
fall
on 
deaf ears.

I hold
myself
close
in 
the darkness
of the night
and wonder
how 
much longer
I can 
hold on.

I am tired.
so 
tired.
Sinking
deeper.
Falling
Farther
From
Myself.

I-I can't
I can't stand
I can't stand myself.

Unity

 Each  and every  day we grow older Our wrinkles grow deeper Our hair thins greys and falls out Each  and every  day We grow My heart aches ...
