Disappearing


Do you ever feel like you are disappearing? Like you are slowly losing everything that you were born with. Do you ever feel like you are falling? Like the world is rushing by you at a hundred thousand miles a minute. Do you ever feel like there is something missing? Like you aren’t whole anymore, like you aren’t all here, but you can’t figure out why. Do you ever feel like you are sinking? Like someone tied a stone to your feet, threw you off a bridge, and told you to swim. Do you ever feel like a billion shades of nothing? Like you are so lost that you will never be found? Do you ever feel like you are disappearing? Like if people were to blink, they would miss you? Would they miss you? Or would they watch you fade into the darkness, into the pain, into the lostness and fog of this world. Would they mind you going? Would they even care? Or would you just leave… and someone else would replace you? Do you ever feel like you are disappearing?
