You're Loosing Yourself


You’re Losing Yourself Age steals your time and mind You’ll feel lost looking for what you’ll never find Walking through the house not recognizing a thing Don’t even know it when you whisper or sing Sleep is your comfort but also your enemy Don’t know whether to blame time or PTSD You scream in your sleep and talk in different tongues From the days you were troubled and young Dismissing every issue that comes to you Skipping out on the therapy needed too You try hiding it like a classified document Like the time you’ve spent in occident You act like talking about it isn’t an option But the misery leaves you in a distortion How can I help, what can I do, please tell me the truth But you say nothing erases time, not even the fountain of youth You built a life, please don’t leave it behind Together we can find your peace of mind Don’t let this control you I can’t loose you too

This is an emotionally- packed, poignant poem. It speaks truth and sheds light on a serious issue. Your use of rhyme was effective. Please take a look at my posts- This is a poem, January 2014, Ars Poetics etc. and feel free to comment.
