Fragments (in the darkness)
Fragments
Sometimes it feels like I am just standing in total silence
The darkness is all around me and all I know is that there is no escape
No matter what I do or what I try, the feeling of being trapped lingers on
The silence becomes almost comforting for a time until the memories come
Like fragments of things in my life "You not being good enough, is getting boring"
coming to me and feeling just out of my reach "I do not want to speak to you"
Even closing my eyes does not block them out "I deserve better than breadcrumbs"
Words I want to scream out against in protest but the silence I feel is too much
Fighting back the burning I feel in my eyes "Fake love bombing"
Something I did not even understand until I looked for myself and then the pain
But that is not enough "You barely do the minimum" is not something I felt
No, the fragments burn like a flame on my flesh and there is no escape but one
