Future Nobody,


Dear Future nobody,

 

Living off your parents crumbs

You call that life

I call that sad

You had it, it was there

Now it's gone

Crumbs

Is that all you are?

Living out of a broken home full of unconventional affairs

Is that you?

Are you still here

Are you a nobody?

Family counseling

Therapists back and forth

Are you really okay?

Age of 21 with life so blind

Open your eyes

Are you broken or done?

Finish what you started

Look back to 18

Look back to your older self

Were you happy then?

Are you happy now?

Blades don't help

Friends are not always there

Family is part of life

But are you really there?

Look around what do you see?

Do you see yourself

Or do you see the person society has created

Do you like yourself or are a fictional character from one of the many novels you have read

Hiding behind books doesn't help

It just blinds you from reality for a few moments

Wake up it's time

Change

There's still time

Are you crumbs?

Are you a nobody? or

Are you a lost soul in a book full of unpredictability

Put down the blade

Put down the pills

Its time,

time to stop being a future nobody..
