I find myself beaten all the time

Mental games people play with me

I can't seem to cope

I feel like I am going to explode

I need help...

Is anyone there?

Can anyone hear my pitiful moan?

Others feel my shout as a swift cool wind

They look around...

While most others don't

As they look away

They ignore the fight within themselves

And my growing need of solace

I am a ghost to them

Nothing but a blip on their radar

I can feel me failing myself

As I lose grip on everything I once knew...

I am a ghost

I felt as if everything I knew was crumbling down on me...everthing I once knew about myself was gone in an instant.
