A Slow Death

Míchel Lex

Locked away in a box

A box with no human contact

The type of human contact 

I connect with in a different way

 

And if I leave I could die

But being stuck in the same place

Where days pass by slow

But a part of me already died

 

Nothing new

Nothing exciting 

Nowhere for my passion and motivation to be found

It's just a silent box where I’m forced to think

 

About the past, the future

And the forever feeling of loneliness

It doesn't matter how many people claim to be in my corner

To claim and actions are two different things

    Good write M.
    It's easy to say, but we have to take a step to start with, out of the 'box'. We may not feel like doing so at times.

  • L. B. Mek

    those last two last lines are very poignant
    indeed, there's a lifeline - of difference
    between, what people claim
    and what tangible results, their claims yield!
    and yet,
    even our fury in others flagrant fallacy
    is a utility, we an weaponise
    to weave together, our own tethers
    and maybe someday, they'll be enough
    of a rope, to cling - to
    when all else, has failed...
    'fight, the good fight
    leave no room for futile, regret!'
    all I have are empty words and hopeful wishes
    though pitiful, their still imbued with enough sincerity
    to help tighten those tethers, you someday may cultivate!
    (thank you! for choosing to share
    these words - too
    is a choice you're making: to fight...)
    and no one! can ask anymore of you than that
