I tell myself a tale at night
about how good I was
and how happy I am
It was ignorance at best
but I could do it
just to feel alive againBecause my body is nothing
but a pile of broken bones
stitched together with frayed nerves
My feet are sore;
my scars bleed and festerSo I tell myself a tale at night
that I am whole
and that I am better
through the fading light of life,
I know-there is no moreNo more of me
and the dreams
I keep chasing
only to failNo more of my heart,
the love I gave,
and the pieces of myself
gone and forgottenFinally, no more of the life
I lived, instead replaced
with the dread and fear
for most of my daysIt's just me and the dark
No light at the end
of the tunnel
There's no salvation
for the stupid or the blind
even more so for the person
in pieces behind closed doors,
smiling like nothing is wrongThis is my life now
-there is nothing I could do
except maybe to tell myself
a tale at night
about a dream chased
and a dream fulfilled
thinking it would save meSo through the windows of my mind
and the worthless passing of my days
I tell myself a tale at night
hoping I'll be more than just my waysmay 19, 2022
