Falling ever so slowly

Daily life goes on

The downfall goes unnoticed

Till the day comes

I'll realize how far I've gone

It'll be too late

No ledge to hang on to

No helping hand to hold

So I'll continue to fall

Back into the abyss

Maybe this time

I'll land face first on the ground

Ending this cycle of

Falling ever so slowly

I'm sorry,

Your soul was not meant to feel such sorrow

Troubled beginnings are not always destined to end in tragedy

Please get better

I'm tired of

this life

I'm tired of

dreaming of being loved

just to wake up

alone and miserable

I'm tired of

stressing over

the world's simplest tasks

and not being able to

explain why

I'm tired of

trying my best

only to be left with knowing

that it'll never be enough

I'm tired of

this wretched life

and I don't know

how much longer I can go on

Rollercoaster

“Life is a rollercoaster,

it will always have it's

ups and downs”

But what happens

when my rollercoaster

has already reached rock bottom

and is still on it's way down?

Did I build it wrong?

Did I miss a turn?

Did I buy the wrong ticket?

I don't know if I want to

ride anymore

The Floating Ten

Ten of them

The perfect amount

To drift off to sleep

With complete ease

It would give me

the feeling of

floating in space

Where nothing and no one

can disturb my peace

I became addicted to the feeling

Whatever it took

I would sneak more

two by two

each night

until I had all ten

again

-Z.S

Do Good

Always strive

to do good

and be kind.

Help others

when you can.

Life is a hard road

and it costs nothing

to be a positive

force that brings light

into some of the world's

darkest corners

Highway of Hundreds

It will never

Cease to amaze me

How many cars will pass me by

On this one highway

Hundreds of cars

In that one moment

Hundreds of souls

I will never meet

Hundreds of lives

Each one different

from the last

All of these people

On this one highway

How was their day?

Are they just going to work

Or going home?

Are they just passing through

on a roadtrip to nowhere?

Hundreds of questions will

Flood my mind

As I am staring at the

Hundreds of people

In the hundreds of cars

On this one highway

-Z.S

My Midnight Thoughts

They

Make me question

my existence

Yell at me that

I should disappear

from everyone

so they could be happier

Tell me that I

am nothing

and that i deserve nothing

but the pain and sadness

that comes right when

the clock strikes 12

-Z.S

To E,

No more sugar coating

I don't want to see or hear

Anything from you.

Considering you left me

Without any excuse as to

Why you did.

Your absence

Made me question the whole

Relationship we had

And where I must have

Done something wrong.

So pardon me

That if we cross paths again

I will look straight ahead

And continue to walk

As if I never saw you

-Z.S

Memories

I remember the way it felt

The way the sun warmed our skin

The way the grass was soft against my back

The way the clouds floated above us

The gentle breeze that made the leaves on the tree dance

I remember it all

How I didn’t have to think about anything

How I didn’t have the constant worries that drive me crazy

How the light chatter amongst my friends made me feel loved

But now it is just a memory

Oh how I wish I could go back

To that day where I felt complete bliss

That’s the thing about memories

They could bring you back to where you were and how you felt

I remember what I did

Covered my ears to muffle the yelling

Turned on the radio to tune them out

I remembered the way I felt

Scared that our family was breaking

Relief when my brother came into my room to calm me down

That’s the thing about memories

They can take you back to where you were and how you felt

A true blessing and a curse

Old Habits

Old habits trying to resurface

Temptation nipping at my heels

Hard to push down the ever growing feeling

Afraid of that one inevitable day

That it all bubbles over

And I try to clean the mess, silently

As the habits manage to win yet again

-Z.S

Wishing I was 21

Please let me

drown my sorrows

In the clear and brown

Sharp tasting liquid

That burns on the way down

I know I'm not 21

But I need to forget

And I've heard that those

Are the best duo

To hide the overpowering

memory from my weak mind

- Z.S.

Relapse

After almost 1 year

Of complete silence

it's calling me again

I don't want to go back

But the voice is calling

The ugly chalkboard screeching

voice

Talks endlessly in my mind

When the clock strikes 12 a.m.

It knows

That during the dark silent hours

I find the voice

To be that of a friend

Rather than the monster it truly is

And I am

Utterly terrified

-Z.S.
