I've used all I had

I don't know if I'll ever have it again

 

I'm so..

I can't say I know I've felt something

When it feels like every day is more nothing

I wish I had the strength to do more

 

But I'm so..

Like there's not a nickel left of me to go on

Like every dollar of my being is gone

Like everything I ever wanted could and did disappear

 

I'm so..

Like I'm grasping at threads I can't see

Like I'm broke and nothing in this world is free

Like I'm so far gone, nothing but the longest rope could pull me back in

 

I'm so.. Spent

this was one of those poems that makes me think: "I wish I had written that". It's so creative and descriptive, and `I totally know the feeling. I hope that feeling fades away though!

I really appreciate this poem. I've been feeling like this lately, It is so relatable for me. It is nice to know that i'm not alone and the way you crafted this is so beautiful. Thank you so much :)
