fleeting

if life is all we have, how is it so empty?

how do i preserve ever fleeting memories?

trying to hold on to anything in a world constantly drifting away

i would do anything to make things stay

my life moved on without me, i’m barely living

because inside is numb and outside is unforgiving

i feel drowsy all the time it seems

the only time i feel awake is in my dreams

i need someone to come here and save me

from me wallowing in my own misery

i never learned how to care for myself, only others

i realize now i’m becoming my mother
