I feel as though I’m floating; like I’m just going through the motions, waiting for it to come to an end. How do you grab hold of something you can’t see? Where is my lifeline? How can I stay when all I want to do is drift away? Disappear into the nothingness consuming me? Someone tether me to the ground, I’m ready to give up and float up into the black abyss that is my mind. Teach me how to say goodbye. Teach me how to let go. Teach me how to be at peace with myself instead of in pieces. I don’t know how much longer I can go on like this; Shattered.
