Bbarely Alive/B Poem by Dawn Michelle

I’m barely alive
I’m barely breathing
I forget how to speak
And now I’m not seeing
Was this a mistake?
Who’s fault is it now?
I’m no longer standing
Because I forget how

Is this moment
The time we’ve all been
Speaking of
Is this the feeling
We’ve heard so much about
Why can’t I
Think clearly
Who will break my fall

I have no control
I’m walking blind
Tears wet on my face
I want to leave this behind
Why can’t I understand?
What is this all about?
I’m running out of ways
To turn inside-out

Is this the memory
I want to carry all my life
Feeling this
Yet so numb am I
I’ve heard so much about
Absolutely nothing
Now it’s here
I’m left unprepared

Desperate hearts bleeding
Speechless voices screaming
Broken bones moving
Yet I am no longer alive

I’m barely alive
I’m barely breathing
I forget how to speak
But now that’s not needed
