DETACHED

By Amanda Crundall



Detached 

Hovering above surroundings 

Numb

Shut down 

Feeling like a ghost floating above my own grave

 

Attached 

Hanging on with a life less complex 

Self doubt taking prisoners of war

Shutting down 

In protection mode 

 

Mind butchered

On the chilly ping of an email

Emotions wrung out in the spinner of disillusionment

On a cycle that never ends

Aghast, at the horror that enfolds

 

Detached

Hovering above surroundings

Frozen

Annihilation of the soul

Feels so normal or is that just another hole

 

Detached forever

Or

Freedom

From the tormented mind

To live, like is deserved for many
