Cameryn, It's Not There

Cameryn, it’s not there

You are thinking too much again

Internalizing

Enfolding

Why don’t you just take break?

 

A break?

What if…

What if I get swallowed in the break

They always says there is too much at stake

I sit there…I don’t want to wallow

But it’s hard…the thoughts

They always come back

 

Cameryn, it’s not there

Stop crying invisible tears

Stop shedding invisible hairs

Abstain from invisible mirrors

Abstain from a brain that’s not there

 

If I do

What will happen to me?

I’ll be no one

They think I am someone

But in actuality

I am losing

I am slowly defusing

 

Cameryn, we’re not here

As much as we want to be

We’re not there

We see you

But you surely, I promise, don’t see us

We see you

But we’re not here

 

You’re not here

They’re not there

We’re not anywhere

But…

Cameryn will never know

At least now

That you were here
