I feel ... like I’m falling
Like I’m failing
What am I doing?
I’m lost, really lost
I’ve been going in circles
In cycles
Same difference
What am I doing
Where am I going
WHAT AM I DOING
Nothing feels right
A lot feels good
It just doesn’t feel right
At the core of my heart
And the centre of my being
I am shaking
I am not okay Every part of my body aches
It aches for what it doesn’t know
It longs for something beyond
My soul feels trapped
Held down, silenced
I want to break free
Slowly, surely
How?
Help me
Conflicted soul, wanderer a mess
Free spirit they see
Lost, directionless spirit I feel
This they call it free
Far from free
Far from purity
Close to darkness
Wrapped in sin
Where am I
How did I get here
Get me out of here
Please
I don’t know these feelings
22/10/17 - I wrote this one when I was feeling very lost, very alone, very sad. I was conflicted internally. The layers of my interior were peeling and crumbling apart. I felt like I was leading a double life. I was going through an identity crisis.
