Ficlets

The ground just crumbled beneath my feet
Everything I’ve known… it’s gone
And you look me in the eye, as if you’re looking for my soul
you wont find it

My heart, its scabbed over
And my mind… it’s numb

I’m a wreck… compassion makes me run away
pity makes me cringe
I need the world to ignore this… the way I am
Because maybe if I can create an alternate world, I can live in it
And things are better there
I know it
