Lately, I feel less of a man that I was,
I stopped going out with my friends, heck I even stopped going out of my room.
Lately, I feel less of a man that I used to be,
I rarely talk to my family let alone at work, when everyone that I ever know felt like strangers.
Lately, I feel that I am just a leaking cup,
I tried loving the people closest to me but in some superficial way, they just slip through my fingers.
Lately, I succumbed into hiding in my room,
I find the darkness and silence somewhat more peaceful.
Lately, I haven't been feeling the boy in the picture,
My awkward smile and my squinty eyes are lost.
Lately, I don't recognize the person in the mirror,
My face seemed thinner, my eyes looked heavy and I am left staring at an expressionless man.
Lately, everything I ever do feels less,
And now, after writing this, I feel lesser.
