Anger , Sadness... Speechless

By openureyes

It took every last breath I had to scream those last few words.
My heart pounds.
My head stings so numb.

I curl into a ball that once felt safe.
But that was a lifetime ago.

I cry to myself in a raspy voice
The walls too thick for my desperation to be heard

A foggy mirror
My knees cold against the floor

I dont like you
who are you
why cant you just be

getting tired
running on fear

so lost
like so many times before
never as empty
never as broken
 as now

in comes
more
and more
Pain
