Invisible

In the wake of a terrible holiday weekend...

The mist came surrounding me

Swirling around my body like an old lover

Familiar with my weakness' and fears

I am unable to stop it

 

It seeps into me, taking control

Filling my conscious with all my self doubt

The panic is rising, the darkness comes

I just want to run

 

There is no where to go

No one to turn to

I feel so alone

The silence is deafning

 

I raise my arms in front of me reaching out for help

My mouth is open in a silent plea

But the mist surrounds me

Rendering me invisible...

Author's Note

I hope my poem touches at least one person so they know that everyone at some point is touched with such despair. Writing is such a cathartic way to start finding your way back to light, life and happiness. Enjoy :)
