I, who sit here amongst you all
I am numb, I feel nothing, and am ultimately nothing.
I, who sit here amongst you all, watching, waiting, attempting to blend in, but failing dismally.
I, who sit here amongst you all, you who call yourself my friends, are nothing but confused strangers.
I, who sit here amongst you all, see nothing besides people who use others to attain their own desires.
I, who sit here amongst you all, observe what you would call a relationship, seeing only mis-trust.
I sit here hollow and alone, in this world of strangers.
Dying inside as I watch this world sink deeper into the shadows.
My mind losing its grip on reality,
The knife sinking deeper into my flesh,
My breath quickening as I start to lose consciousness,
My heart begins to slow as the pool of blood spreads beneath me.
I reach out for deaths’ sweet embrace, but no;
Death is not meant for me, mine is to wander this sickening world,
This world of strangers.

You wrote the stain of humanity into this piece..wonderful work.
thankyou for your comment. I’ve found there are alot of false people out there. Lying to everyone including themselves. Writing I’ve found is a way to truly express oneself.

and you are right,, write it down, I am older as you will see, I still believe in the honest word,the get well card, the simple phone call ………………a home baked pie carried carefully, I know even my kin says so, no one anymore takes to these gestures of love,, so we are both at lost, your damned if you do, and your damned if you don’t.. I prefer to think outside the box, write down what I think, paint what I see, and not let any one,, no any one tell me,, who is ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL,, ONLY I KNOW THAT!! peace and love linmarie.
Thankyou for your kind words. I use writing as a venting mechanism most of the time which is why most of my writing is so dark. Plus I’m a pessimist, so naturally it is easy for me to see the bad the false and the connving common man in everything and everyone. But there are people out there who are generally true and honest people. Unfortunately they are quite rare, but I would like to think that the couple of people who I would call bestfriends have these traits. And they like me for me, they dont want me to change. It is people like them that we need more of in this world.
Once again thankyou for kind sincere words.

There have been times when I have felt this way, myself. linmarie is right about not letting anyone tell us who we are. She is also right about a simple card or phone call. But, the world is getting colder and colder. People who care enough to offer even the slighest kindness are getting fewer and fewer.
Thankyou for your comment. Yes I agree that there are fewer and fewer of the kind and caring sort out there. People are out for their own these days. It is amazing that something as simple as a hug can brighten my day, and leave me with a lingering smile.
