I am phone calls you shouldn't ignore
I am the victim in your fire
I am silent cries in the night.
I am your imaginary friend that’s there through thick and thin
I am sunrises to welcome a new beginning.
I am medication to keep you stable and happy
I am fear in your eyes
I am vibrating vocal cords when you scream.
I am last gasps of air before you pass on to the afterlife
I am the thread count that holds the fabric of my family’s lives together
I am the teardrops that fall from the corners of your eyes
I am the black cat that crosses your path.
I am the words that sting when they fall from your lips
I am the pain and regret you feel deep down inside
I am sick and tired, of being sick and tired
I am terror you see in your dreams at night
I am hope when everything else fails.
I am your shoulder to cry on.
I am a hidden, forgotten memory
I am not the reflection I see in the mirror.
I am the harsh and discouraging actions you make that break my heart.
I am… I don’t even know anymore.
