Falling Apart.

I'm falling apart.

I have been for a long long time.

But no one notices.

They either don't notice or they don't care.

They either don't see or they choose to look the other way.

No one even cares to ask if I'm OK.

They never ask how I'm doing.

They never ask if I need help.

They see me slowly slipping away

Desperately clinging on

teetering on the edge

clenching, holding on, tightly gripping

letting go bit by bit,

inch by inch

dying inside, longing to be dead on the outside

something deep inside me desperately wanting to break free

break free from this body, this family, this life.

The Old Me is gone now

and what's left of Me is being eroded away and soon there will be nothing left anymore.

I'm fading away into nothingness

yet no one sees it

so close to just letting go completely

just waiting for the right moment

the trigger

for the last piece to give

to fall away

I'm invisible anyway

No one will notice when I'm gone.
