of my humanity
written: june 8 2007 5:00 pm central
darkness closes around
what is left of my humanity
i feel it squeezing, choking, suffocating me
and i am helpless
helpless but to watch and allow
tendrils ease into what was once
the fragile ground of my humanity
i feel the ability
to care
slipping away
shadows no longer choosing to dwell
only in the corners
now come full force into the open
growing darker
growing meaner
and i shall miss
the reality of my humanity
for the corners are now mine
the darkness has left me naught but
and it becomes more real to me
than any touch
any emotion
any one
did i let this happen to me
or did this let me happen to it
i am not sure
but i shall miss
the reality
of my humanity
