Poem
When night arrives my body shivers with pain My feet curl up with the cold that travels from my toes to my spinal cord My stomach makes weird noises that are cause by the emptiness Hungry for happiness. When night arrives I think of all the daylight glories How I brighten up with no glow on my face While on my shoulders I have a collection of cans, wills, should haves and could haves Which darken my blood living my heart split in half... When night arrives Day remembers me more The problems I avoid come back to fill in the void and take charge of my thinking Like taps leaking I can't stop my tears from falling while everyone is sleeping Am I stressing or seeking attention or maybe sickening? From 65kg down to 59kg within a week could it be that I'm weakening? When night arrives these are the questions that my mind keeps poppin' When night arrives My heart and mind start fighting My arms refuse to let go of my legs as I roll myself up like a snail under its shell but I still feel as though I'm unprotected. When night arrives My songs lose rythm while my poems have no rhyming scheme It gets colder under heated blankets My heart beats a bit slower I don't know whether its because of the darkness away from home which is closely related to evil The darkness which is filled with sharp thorns like an unwalked forest I don't know whether the darkness scares me because... When night arrives Fear travels from my toes to my thighs at high speed directly to my skull Causing my heart to beat slow Causing my weak points to show When night arrives The salty river starts to flow.
