I feel lost

in the space between myself and everyone.

Their sadness seeps into me,

a tide I never learned to swim.

I want to be buried

where no one can see,

where no one will know my name.

Despair consumes me;

nostalgia lingers like a ghost.

The faces fade and blur—

I can no longer see them

and they no longer see me.

I always want to die sometimes,

wishing for a silence deep enough

to drown out the noise of being awake.

I want to feel the soil that surrounds us,

cool and heavy, six feet under,

to lie where nothing more is asked of me,

and finally rest.
