"Isolation"
Isolation
 From everything 
 Numbing 
 The pain
 Isolating myself?
 Or being isolated?
 Watching my world 
 Pass me by
 Spinning 
 Spiraling 
 Crashing 
 Down so quickly 
 Seemingly into 
 My selfish 
 Eternity
 Trying desperately 
 To grab ahold of
 Reality 
 Just to slow it down 
 Even for a second
 So I can catch up 
 And fix this
 Brokenness 
 Inside both 
 Myself 
 And relationships 
 Trust 
 That is no more
 I’ve been trying to pick myself up 
 But every time I stand 
 I am knocked back down
 Again 
 Into the darkness
 Painting myself into a 
 Picture 
 That is already too full
 So I sit in the corner 
 To look from the 
 Outside, in 
 While slowly 
 The darkness 
 Creeps in 
 Around the edges 
 Wanting to 
 Engulf 
 Every glimmer
 Of hope 
 I hold in my  
 Bleeding heart 
 Fighting 
 My sunshine 
 Trying to 
 Break its way through 
 To again 
 What I see as 
 Beautiful
 And embrace it again 
 Away from 
 Selfish isolation 
 When forgiveness 
 Is found 
 Beauty seen 
 But right now all I can do 
 Is get up off the ground 
 And try again
