Why Do I Feel So Defeated

Me Lost

By Katherine DockeryPublished about a month ago 1 min read

I sit alone in the quiet living room crying.

Sobbing

Wondering what happened

How am I so confused about my life?

This life

How did it come to this?

I used to be so strong

Independent

I knew Me. She was a really cool person.

Her smile was real

Genuine

Her laughter brought joy.

She was vibrant and ambitious…

Colorful

Where did she go?

She knew who she was.

She was strong in who she was.

But now

She no longer exists.

Black and grey paint her pictures as she gives up.

As she becomes a shell

‘Me’ no longer exists

No more vibrant colors.

No more ambition.

Merely defeat.
