self_made

ever felt alone and adrift
empty to the world within you
& without you?
like a rift that cuts thin
between life and death

people talking without listening
& yet you hear, but
still the silence grows
between your world and theirs
& you don't know what to do
because life is just life to you

yet you don't know what's wrong
for maybe along
the way
you fell astray
& people kept walking
& talking
until you fell
into your self-made hell
