No one ever noticed
that I got tired of living.
They just kept on taking,
even after I stopped giving.
They kept on talking,
convincing me they were real.
They kept trying to touch my heart,
they never noticed I can no longer feel.
No one ever heard me,
and I finally stopped crying.
No one ever asked me
if I would be alright.
No one was ever around
when I needed help to fight.
No one wanted to hear,
and no one wanted to feel.
I am no one now.
I am no longer real.

Poetry: Losing myself
by Dawn Lovell
No one ever noticed
that I got tired of living.
They just kept on taking,
even after I stopped giving.
They kept on talking,
convincing
Over the years, bit by bit,
I gave myself away,
awoke one morning,
to find that I
no longer knew
exactly where I fit.
The Stranger's Diary
Bound to the pages of a stranger's diary, I exposed the silent pages.
I brought life to the realm
I pick up my pen
And lose myself in thought
Finding a new world
That I can create and get lost
I leave all of my cares so far
