Cease
I need everything to stop...
the memories I kept hidden in my subconscious
the winding clocks in hallways,
sadly a reminder that I am still here,
my lungs to stop filling with black
smoke of haunted memories
To stop the the silence that eats
me like a cancerous cell.
I need someone to ease the pain
that throbs at my temporal constantly
I need everything to stop....
these feelings of unworthiness,
the negative words that run through these veins,
wait?....isn’t blood suppose to run here....
To end the anxiety that is an unwanted guest
To end the depression that invited itself.
I need everything to stop...
my mind from thoughts of crashing into a tree,
of the Mtech knife carving superficial wounds
that aren’t so deep but
helps the pain find a way to seep.
I need everything to stop....
this silent battle I suffer,
that pulverizes my bones
that deteriorates my soul.
I fear......
if my silence gets louder......
if those around don’t see.
I may end in Potters Field
laying next to my brother in sleep.
