When was the last time
That you woke up
And smiled
Because you love yourself
Or because the sun
Was there to wake you?
Because for me
It has been
A very
Long
Time
I tried to hide behind my walls of seclusion,
behind beautiful words bound together.
Believing you wouldn't, couldn't see me.
I write the words not because I want to,
but because I have to.
It's my only link to freedom, to reality.
Walking the ghostly hallways of life.
going unnoticed in this big world.
A nobody is all I am,
drowning out all the noise around me.
Moving through days in a zombified stupor,
wanting to break free of the never ending cycle,
but loving the cycle nevertheless.
Disappearing into a nothingness so you can't see
Fading into everything is where I'll be
Pushing out everything
gaining nothing
solitary
Well, decided to try something new and there was this prompt about making each line in the poem smaller. So here's my attempt and I hope y'all like!!

but
it seems that I like
you very much
that sometimes things
don't work well for
both of us
You know I do.
