has life
gotten
on my last nerve
let me check
am I still here
wallowing
do I really
want to know
what life means to me
or am I done
with feeling
empty emotions
and fickle people’s
trying attempt
at connection
that misses
every.damn.time
to engage
i fear i’m done

That poem reminds of my 20’s. It resonated strongly with me.
This was me a few times in my life. Glad to hear you only experienced this in your 20s.
Well I suffer from anxiety and depression but I haven’t felt like the way your poem describes in almost 30 years, I want to thank my wife of 6 yrs (9 yrs together) for that fullness 🙂
Here’s to partners who help us feel better! <3
Thanks, Luna!
This is exactly how I feel right now
Very nice. I too fear ‘Am I done’?
