What to feel, what to feel?

Is this life even real?

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

Maybe it's I that has grown distant.

I may wish death upon myself.

Or maybe I wish to sit up on that shelf.

On that shelf with the rest of you.

Being seen and loved like you get to.

But no. How could I get there?

All I do is sit and at a blank wall I stare.

Slowly crumpling, like I knew I would.

'Stay Strong' some said but I never could.

I still can't, probably never will.

I'll stop there because I can't pay the bill.

What bill, you ask?

The one for life, that hides behind a mask.

Seems my bill is overdue.

I guess my time is now too.
