How Very Close I Am To Calling It Quits
In the quiet you
Will find the scars
Long-healed and the damage
Nearly unnoticable.
You will find the numbness
Overlooked until it's ruthlessly
Pointed out.
Until you dissolve against
Drugs and lies,
Reality will plague you;
Until it forces you to
Kiss the ground,
It is everything.
In the quiet I've
Lost any
And every sense of
Self-expression.
It is not noticed until I
See hours tick silently.
It is not noticed until
I look like my mother.
Will find the scars
Long-healed and the damage
Nearly unnoticable.
You will find the numbness
Overlooked until it's ruthlessly
Pointed out.
Until you dissolve against
Drugs and lies,
Reality will plague you;
Until it forces you to
Kiss the ground,
It is everything.
In the quiet I've
Lost any
And every sense of
Self-expression.
It is not noticed until I
See hours tick silently.
It is not noticed until
I look like my mother.

Thank you very much. :) And yeah, it is a little bitchy at the end, and it's one of the most bitter poems I've written. Thanks for taking the time to give me feedback.

wow! the way you've squeezed emotions out so simply without being overly expressive... a knack i can rarely afford.
depression brings out a lot of ugly things as well as amazing things in us.

I agree. Thank you. :) I don't exactly understand what you mean by the first statement though.
