Sometimes it feels like I’m raising a young girl that chooses death inside a woman who have no choice but to bring life.

I see the world through shades that refuse to exist.

The eye of truth is obsessed with death as much as it fears resurrection.

I have faith in the future. I know I have more time to dig up more graves in the graveyard that is my soul for versions of myself that were never allowed to be.

Now, i know myself In the comfort of the walls of my own mind

I know myself, alone.

Sarcastic, a bit cynical some of my pieces have fallen out, Others are hanging like broken teeth. My skin won’t shed completely and my fingers aren’t enough to hold me

Yet, I refuse to ask for help afraid if someone actually reached out

I’ll bite…

Loneliness to someone who’s used to be alone and prefers to be feels a lot like betrayal…

I wish I could stop feeling this lonely all the time, it’s almost like a phantom limb pain. I’m feeling pain in a part of me that no longer exists…

Bleeding rage from an invisible wound.

It’s only a matter of time now.

ORESTES looks at his hands. There's a sudden blackout. Then lights up and KLYTEMNESTRA's dead, sprawled across the table. ORESTES holds his hands out - they're bloodied. Perhaps he wears a saffon dress. A sense of dawning calm.

ORESTES : This was always going to happen.

She's been dead since the beginning.

Aeschylus, The Oresteia

I was terrified I'd break down.

I did.

It didn't matter.

Rosalind M. Baker, Woman Prayers: Prayers by Women; "Breakdown"

I feel dead.

I feel as if I were the residue of a stranger's life.

James Tate, Selected Poems

I do not exist. There is nothing left.

Euripides, from Hecuba ; Grief Lessons: Four Plays (Anne Carson)

This year I have disappeared. Or I was never there. Or I was never here.

Jane Mead, World of Made and Unmade

I died bit by bit without noticing.

Benjamin Fondane

years / I spent on the edge / of disappearance ;

D.M Aberribigbe, Letter from My Father, Odysseus

#this is about this very specific feeling #but i'm not sure how to call it so ...#here a bunch of quotes that kind of sum up this peculiar feeling
