Work Text:

Basking in the dim lights

Feeling everything at once until I went numb

Failing to not let down others once again

My efforts are in vain

 

I embraced myself in the Pillar's workshop

Alone, dull; on the floor against the wall

My half lidded eyes blocking my peripheral

As I let out a sigh so visceral 

 

I get reminded that my armour turned blue

It's how I feel right now too

Life can be too gruesome and cruel

My head hurts

 

I can't even cry

It's been this way for a long time

It's always me

Why? Why is it always me that's failing?

 

I remember their glares, filled with anger

I don't understand

What did I do?

Why can't I do things right?

Why can't I just disappear?

 

I grieve and grieve, my chest tighten 

I almost let out a sob

My emotions and thoughts racking together

Please, make it stop.

 

Tipped over the edge

My senses failing

I barely hear your footsteps

I almost didn't hear it

You calling out my name

With me looking up with tears

 

I didn't even realize it falling on my face

When you come near.

Notes:

The more I write these types of poems, the more I get to let it out from my system. Despite me enjoying my experiences in the world, I find myself denying to face and accepting reality as it is.

Its getting harder for me to face people, myself and those who see me as their friend. I feel like I should hace left the world without a trace left but it's impossible to do that without making my loved ones sad.

So I'm stuck. Stuck in a cycle of wanting to end it and wanting to keep those I love away from grieving.
