Have you ever looked in the mirror
And seen a stranger looking back at you?
You feel like a part of you is slipping away;
Drowning and sinking,
Deeper and deeper below the surface.
Like an observer,
You watch this unknown person
Living and breathing in your body
And only vaguely,
(This is a mess but don't judge me; I've been out of it for a very long time. I don't think I've written anything since March. Hopefully, it gets better).
And seen a stranger looking back at you?
You feel like a part of you is slipping away;
Drowning and sinking,
Deeper and deeper below the surface.
Like an observer,
You watch this unknown person
Living and breathing in your body
And only vaguely,
You remember the person you used to be.
So what do you do?
Retreat farther into that shell of nothingness?
Or fight to rise above the water?
Maybe you'd struggle to find the missing puzzle piece
And just maybe you'd succeed --
Reconciling the old and new
Into a better you . . .
A happier you
(This is a mess but don't judge me; I've been out of it for a very long time. I don't think I've written anything since March. Hopefully, it gets better).
