As I Stare Poem by Kari Langerud

As I stare
Ever so carefully
The darkness stares
Right back at me
The heartless world
Clings to fake
Ideas that I
No longer make
My world was shredded
Torn apart
As my world
So was my heart
I lost feeling
And became so numb
Blissfully ignorant
Of what is to come
The smile on my face
Is forced by me
Sorry to tell you
I want to be free
Like a shadow in the night
Invisible to all
I want nothing there
When I fall
