I don’t know what to do <br />My world is slowing shrinking <br />Smaller <br />And smaller <br />And smaller <br />Not stopping until all that’s left is myself <br />No one else can withhold <br />My tightening borders <br />Or climb my unbreakable walls <br />The things I use as guard <br />Against family <br />Against friends <br />Against myself <br />I can no longer fight the shrinking <br />I can just say goodbye <br />My image is drawer nearer <br />But it’s just keeps getting fuzzier <br />Like I’m staring in a mirror too long <br />And my features are colliding <br />It’s just me <br />No one will be left <br />When I am through <br />I know that as soon as people <br />See the real me they will be gone <br />Out the door. <br />My glaring flaws scare everyone away. <br />Can’t I have just one good thing about myself?<br /><br />Jennie Scheihing<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/smaller-smaller-smaller-gone/
