Whisper...

Standing in the crowded room I scream at the top of lungs just to see if any one will notice me.
Just to see if they care enough to see my pain. Slowly I feel myself being cut down to a whisper.
I am just a sliver of my former glory.
Just a glint of the past. I am only slightly the person I used to be.
Life has cut me down to nothing more then a peice of what I used to know of myself.
I'm down to a whisper in a day dream.
Shut down to a whisper... can you hear me still?
Trying to be what they need me to be, but I'm so very tired.
Trying to be what I should be, and what they want me to be.
How can I be true to myself, and not be cut down?
I have turned my back on the person I knew... I find myself slowly walking away, and not even
knowing I've walked so far from home.
I'm so far from where I came, but the end is not in sight. I don't see my light. I don't see the end.
If I could only see where it is that I'm walking to.
Where has my strength gone?
Where has my hope gone?
Theres no room to breath, my chest caves in as I try to take a deep breath... theres nothing.
I feel nothing in me as I exhale.
I thought I had everything figured out... I'm lost now.
Do you know me?
Do you know where I've been?
Do you know how long I've been lost?
I have put on the show for the very last time.
The curtain has fallen on my real life drama.
Now where is it that I go from here?

It's a weariness I've felt. It's cold and seems to have it's roots firmly sunk into all of your tomorrows. The brightness of the sun wants to help things but only ends up making you depressed and self pitying. It's the never-endingness that used to get me. You can get self deprecating or abusive to the moon and the stars (or worse - people)... if you lose that cushon of gentleness and grace which you want to keep.

Poetry is what is lost in translation.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
