everything is slipping away
a distinct moment
when
it went from
hopeful future
building on
a life’s work
endless sacrifice
for too many others
at the expense of
erasing yourself
or better yet
never having even
had to be here
in this hell
on earth
hell is earth
with other people
who hurt you and
leave you for dead
no cares in the world
oh, let’s go
bad stuff always happens to her
well they wonder
why you disappear
never wanting to
come back again
