If I close my eyes, I can see it
the inside me
falling apart

I feel myself breaking
slipping away
and I don't know how to stop it

In time I will be an empty shell
a girl who used to live
a vibrant life

Now I will be gone
lost from the world
I once held so dearly

I'm not sure if I will ever return
I'm confused as if I will ever be me again
I'm lost and afraid and alone

Someone please
outstretch a hand
grab hold of me

Pull me back in.

I love this! :)

I think a LOT of people can relate to this poem.

The poem is filled with consistant three line stanzas, and has a pretty steady beat. :)

Definitely put on Inkpop!
