Pain

The pain of anger

The fear of failure

The desire for it to get better

The knowing it won’t

All mixed with the anxiety of what will happen next

Words destroy hope

Thoughts kill pride

Killing all emotion but

ANGER, PAIN, and MISERY

Noise brings agony

Yet silence drives me insane

The will to live won’t let me die

Yet the will to die won’t let me live

So…

I ran a bath in anger

Undressed my pain

And soaked in my misery

Alone I soaked

Silently I bathe

I washed away at my thoughts

Scrubbed away at my sanity

My torn heart bleeds….

LOVE HAPPINESS and JOY

I got out

Wrapped myself in comforting words

Dried my sorrow

And dressed once more in the same pain

I lied on my bed of guilt

And cried myself to sleep

Good night to the tears on my pillow

Good night to the cold holding me so tight

Good night to the flame that grows within

And GOOD BYE to all of me
