Save Yourself Poem by Alyssa Lynn

I am a plague to those around me; I watch them as they flee. I am a mess of epic proportion. All I love, I push away. They can only stand so much, so it’s no surprise when they leave; I am a virus, to my own humanity. I am the titanic, slowly sinking you can’t help me, it may be….too late, the poison is in my veins. I am weak, lying to myself that I’m “strong.” I’m alone; I’m like a vortex, save yourself, run. I am in the dark only a mere cocoon of the person I used to be. I am nothing but a shadow, and soon like all ghosts I shall be forgotten.
