Herman’s Hermitage

It’s going to get pretty weird.

Tag: emptiness

Confidante

Behind these cold dead

Eyes, what secrets do I hide?

Ones you’ll want erased.

Mask Down

Such a relief when

I take my mask off and

Show my real face to

Myself in the car

Mirror after I leave you

At home every day.

Deadened

It only hurts when I

Breathe, or hope, or believe

In something again.

Pill

January 16, 2021 hermanshermitLeave a comment

Food doesn’t taste right.

Take a pill. Feeling mean. Take

A pill. Dark clouds hang

Over me. Take a pill.

This time I’ll feel better. I

Take a pill. I wait.

Hope Floats Away

You have to give up.

Hope is what is killing you.

It will never change.

It will always hurt

Like this. Nothing will improve it.

Release it and breathe.

Devolution

My skeleton will

Melt. I will make my home in

The nautilus shell.

Golden Boy

January 15, 2021 hermanshermitLeave a comment

I identify

With former child stars, washed

Up. Anonymous,

Unaddicted, still

Am I a tarnished relic

Of former promise.

Shell

January 14, 2021 hermanshermitLeave a comment

My face doesn’t work.

When my family sees me,

They worry, “what has

Happened?” Nothing. This

Is just who I am now. This

Shell is all I am.

Neglect

You are so joyful

And I mean nothing to you.

I wither and die.
