It No Longer Feels Like Home

not_defined

I dont feel as I belong anymore

I'm a stranger to my own reality

And the dreams I've had seem wasted

Maybe they didnt mean a thing

 

I look at my blurred reflection 

I cant pinpoint my identity

And these walls that felt so warm

They dont really do much for me

 

A numbness grows inside, as I

Look at memories on my phone

Where once I felt so much joy

Now no longer feels like home

 

Could it be just a passing phase?

Maybe a temporary low

Well, how fleeting is it

When it is all I have ever known?

 

When was the last I've felt at peace?

Its been so long, I cant recall

Nothing seemed to work

No, nothing at all

 

Seconds pass on by, as I

Feel increasingly more alone

Inside these walls in isolation

It no longer feels like home

    A heartfelt poem that displays depression for public viewing. It is very raw and lies exposed. It is very human and begs for consideration. This existential crisis looks for direction in a storm and shelter to gather strength. Nicely written

        that stanza hit me so hard... I feel the same way. I don't know what to do, it's either I'm sober and awaiting death or I'm not sober and awaiting death at this point. sigh great poem
