Daily Prompt: Above

I’m going above and beyond but after today

I’m asking myself for what and why. 

Why am I doing more than I can do just to help out 

when I need a hand out where is my help. 

I am allow them to break me down until I am no more of who I am supposed to be. 

I am now their puppet and no moves I make from this day on are truly mine. 

I am breathing so they can use me and abuse me until well I’m dust and then they will sweep me away and more on to the next one. 

I did this to myself and now I’m running away so fast not even they can catch me, for once I’m gone.

I will be untraceable so remember me for who I am right now because sooner than later I will be like a ghost and fade away from your memory like the memories of the moments that happen yesterday.
