Scribbles

I live alone
inside myself
Dedicating the better parts of me
to the lost and better off forgotten
I am strong
for all of the wrong reasons
Feeling responsible
for everything
Yet acknowledged by nothing
Some ill fated attempt at character suicide
I took a step back
Hoping your wrists and limbs could carry me
My weight
a burden no one is willing to admit
too heavy
We disengage
Barricading that which feeds me
leaving me parched
and incandescent
I cannot sleep to dream
for the sake of reality
