who am i anymore?

What has my life become? 
It’s a question I ask myself on the daily now 
Am I doomed to live here forever,
Stuck in a house that doesn’t feel like home? 
Am I going to live a lonely life,
No friends in town or love to hold? 
Everything in my life has lost meaning now
I don’t want to be here or there
I don’t even want to be in this world most days 
The depression has clawed its way back,
Cementing itself in my life again. 
I thought I got rid of it, 
I thought the friends I had helped get rid of it 
But now I see it more than ever 
Alone in an old house 
Alone in a life i don’t want to live anymore 
I’m here but nowhere at the same time 
My face is not my face
But a mask everyone has become so accustomed to they’ve forgotten who I am inside
It’s easy to fake a smile 
But I’ve faked for so long I don’t know who I am anymore 
Am I dead or am I living? 
Am I even here right now? 
Am I who I want to be anymore? 
I never asked to be so dark and lonely 
To cry silent tears in the night 
I never asked for a darkness so large to devour me
Like a black-hole swallowing a universe
I never asked to feel like this 
Every day 
Day in. 
Day out. 
To feel like a failure
Like I’ll never be good enough 
Like everything in my life means nothing 
These standards in my life
Are invisible to people
But I see them 
I see that they want me to do more 
More than I ever possibly can 
They want me to do things 
Be things 
I never can be 
I’ll never live up to the standards 
They’re society’s 
They’re my family’s 
They’re everyone around me standards 
I'm drowning in them like I'm drowning in darkness 
Never to reach what has been set 
Never to see the light of day again

2019

2019 We’ve reached the end of the year The end of a decade This year has had many ups and downs  Some with unimaginable outcomes  For starters, it was the first full year without my mom My first full year without a mother’s guidance  My first full year without a mother’s love My first full year completely on my own But in this I’ve filled the void by letting in new friends  And allowing older ones to move in deeper  The biggest low of this year though was seeing what it’s like when a person is truly two-faced I’ve seen that no matter how long you may have known a person They can always be someone completely different on the inside  But I’ve learned from my mistakes and have left them in the past  Where they belong  They will stay in this year  But with the loss of one,  I have gained three  Three amazing friends that I will hold in my heart for as long as they will allow me I’ve witnessed t...

My Mask

My mask I’ve worn it so long I’ve forgotten what it looked like  I’ve forgotten what I look like  I've forgotten who the hell I am  Who I was  Who I want to be  Everyone in my life has seen my mask I’ve learned to wear it well  Few have seen beyond it  And only those few know my secrets  My deepest secrets But even they haven't seen it all  There’s a mask in every part of my life  At home In school With family  Everywhere I have a mask  I wear a mask  Most people don’t even realize it's there  They don't realize that the me they see  Is not the me inside  They don't know the dreams I feel I’m losing  They don't know the darkness that lives in my mind  They don't know the life I've lost They don't know anything  And I feel that no one does  No one knows how deep my secrets go  The dark places my mind can wander if I don't co...

Sunrise

It is the most calming moment of the day Just before the moon sets and the sun crests over the horizon In this moment, there is only you and nature There is you and the birds, awakening from their slumber and tweeting their morning songs There is you and the wind, still brisk from the night before There is you and the silence of a city, unaware of what the day will bring next. In this moment, there are no worries, no heartaches, no fear, no pain, no hesitation. The anxieties that plague our world don't exist in this moment, as we say goodbye to the night, the moon, the stars... And say hello to the sun and its ever glowing rays. But this moment will be short lived, for once it is gone- life shall begin again. The city will awaken and all the stresses of the day before shall return. At the end of this beautiful moment, is when we crave for life to stop again For the moon to rise and put a pause on life Only for the whole sequence to be started again.
