Drifting Away

Contributed by ShadowDaughter on Thursday, 8th January 2004 @ 01:13:02 AM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry



withdrawing

sink into myself
slowly, slowly

pull off my tentacles
--attatched
to the various unlucky people out there
I care about--
seperate the suckers
from the skin
and let my feelers
float around me

losing connections

why bother
making the effort
why bother to care

drifting away . . .

I'm losing it all
it slides from my shaky grasp
it all drifts away from me
I drift away from it all

. . . am I gone yet?

damn, that sounded unsettlingly hopeless. sounds like something that would be said in an irritated sigh. very telling.

This sounded freaky made me feel like all hope was lost.
And yet the last line (am I alone yet) alot of the time i wish I was alone, but it is never likely to be.
Excellent emotional poem keep it up.

Nice write. It was very dark. I don't think I fully understood it but ah well. Not a big deal. I liked it none the less.

Sad. I hope you are doing better now. I feel like that right now, so I can relate.
