reach

By whisperer

past lost
internal memory bank empt
listless
what
what
cant write off the facts
cant laugh off the reality of said facts
low

so low

so gone, so completely

gone
i should have gone
shouldnt be here
shouldnt be making myself heard

nothing to say
said nothing worth listening to
should have listened closer
shouldve known
cant know
not meant to know
we'll never know
i want to know

anyone but me, anything but who i am
something other than what ive turned into
something other than the acrid complacent familiar comfortable hateful spitefull stupid bullshit self loathing
self deprecation
self pity
self love in worse than loveless ways

it seems im what i hate
im what i hate
i am what i hate
i dont hate myself
i fear myself
i dont want to be myself
i dont want to be
myself
reach for change

reach for betterment
reach for the sky
dont fall
reach
