Leave Me Alone (Help!)
It was a long road
littered with possibilities.
But as I walked along,
my feet no longer touched the ground.
Suspending above
this road of life,
I became accustomed
to invisibility.
Those still treading along
had no idea
there was a figure above
watching and waiting.
She grew familiar
to the sensation
of hardly being there at all-
a feeling she began to cherish.
Stuck between life and death
the weather-beaten girl
remained a wallflower
Forever blaming herself and others
this girl was mute,
never daring to speak.
She lost all desires
floating along
in blissful ignorance.
Days passed
but time stood still;
for a while anyway.
Then it happened;
she was discovered.
No longer was she
able to hover above.
The girl was yanked
from her world.
People noticed her
suspended between worlds.
They think she is sick.
But I know the truth.
That girl is me.
Ana.
