Abandoned

I can’t see much.
It’s like the world is turning,
But leaving me behind.
The sensation you get when you spin in a swivel chair really super fast.
Then you suddenly thrust your foot out and you jolt to a stop.
I don’t feel much.
The pain I long to inflict on myself is too out of reach.
Blocked by promises I swore I’d keep and mountains of doubt and fear.
When will it end?
When will I be brave enough to say my life is over.
Or smart enough to say it’s not.
Learning our friends have a gun, I long to know it’s hiding place.
Thinking that if I had the chance to be alone.... Why not? It’s easy enough.
I wouldn’t be missed by many.
If I was missed, I doubt that though, they would soon forget me.
Just as a thrilling adrenalin rush is forgotten until experienced again.
Hurting myself is no joke.
I realize that. But it would feel good.
A release of so much hurt.
A pipe waiting to burst.
Some might say I’m crazy.
I might be.
But when you know me, and you might, I’m just struggling.
I am a nobody.
I am a nothing.
One of those lost tracks you bump into in the hall of your school.
I’m pin balled around until I finally fall.
They get second chances, I only get one.
Will I stay above the pit?
Or eventually fall?
