Falling apart

Carrie Zis 1981 (Narrogin)



I’m my own worst enemy, not understanding what it is I do to self destruct and be dangerous for my own

I am not going n to apologise for being created this way, it wasn’t my fault or how I wanted to learn to behave

I live in my world trying to fit in, I survived from a life I fought to be in but I never will fit I’m to different to you

I know it makes no sense to everyone else, I don’t mean to be a problem for everyone and even be seen

I just want to be accepted by one of my kind that’s all I want so I can be strong

In this world that no longer makes sense, or where I even desire to exist no longer for less

I would rather just fade away, into the unknown so I no longer burden those that I know

I appreciate Those around me that dared to take the time and tried to care

And appreciate the escape from my own despair, But I know it’s never going anywhere

I could never ask or expect that of anyone, when I cant even give that from my own soul

So I’m going to make my end game plan to free all I love from my stigma and emotional wasteland

Forgive me or forget me which ever is what you want to do

At least I loved, lived and tried the best I could
But I see the disastrous consequences of my choice for blissful ignorance

So love to those who want to remember that way and sorry to all that shake their heads and think I have no clue

But my pain is mine and I don’t have any way to explain it’s relevance to you

I cared and loved with my whole heart with everything I am, everything do and tried to

Sweet dreams forever now, I love you my beautiful girls, be better than me I know you will

Mummy is proud of you
