To wish to fade
I just want to curl up
Into the smallest ball
And fade away into obscurity
To stop being a burden
To stop shaking with emotion
To stop, to just stop it all
My heart thuds in my chest
Harder, harder, harder
Until it starts to hurt
Is it supposed to be like this?
Is this existence supposed to be this...
Full of extremes and numbness
Tainted, stained, flowing through
With such a bittersweet presence
I am forever wishing to fade
Into the smallest ball
And fade away into obscurity
To stop being a burden
To stop shaking with emotion
To stop, to just stop it all
My heart thuds in my chest
Harder, harder, harder
Until it starts to hurt
Is it supposed to be like this?
Is this existence supposed to be this...
Full of extremes and numbness
Tainted, stained, flowing through
With such a bittersweet presence
I am forever wishing to fade

Those feelings are some I deal with. But life comes with good and bad. Just have to focus on the good even when there doesn't seem to be any.

Terrific emotional candor in this. I hear you. I often wonder why this is such a cruel and absurd paradigm. Thank you for sharing with us. 🙏

Shrinking, fading...I can almost feel the tears as you spill this.
Beautiful write.
