Some days I wake up But I don’t My eyes open, I see the world But nothing is real This ringing in my head tells me something is not right What I see must simply be imagination People move around me, Through me As though I don’t exist Automatic doors follow suit, Refusing to recognize my presence, Denying entry into every day life. HELP ME I scream and cry and plead But my words and tears melt into the wind Gone without a sound. I drift through the day listless, A plastic bag caught in the current that is my life. Night comes, I crawl into bed and sleep, Ending a day that never really started.
