Shahana Jackson Poet Free verse

Cold

I feel cold 
I feel numb
I'm missing the sun light
My hearts frozen with frost bite 
The sun rays never shine on me
They never aim to please me
I'm afraid of what I will become
Without this warmth
I feel bits and pieces 
inside of me tearing off
Slowly breaking down my insides
I guess this is why I always cry
Yet my tears freeze in these drastic temperatures 
Therefore no one will ever know 
I despise the cold
It turns me inside out
Until you only see blue
The color of my blood before
Oxygen could get through
I am bundled up
Yet I am still COLD
Depression blowing in 
Pressure rising
I feel like the Indians marching to their new home
I die in the icy ground 
I am massacred.
 LEFT.COLD.DEAD.
    no one even wonders where I am 
   the COLD ground become my only friend 
       The world my enemy 
        May my freezing soul finally be at peace 
                2007 is it over yet? 
               No unfortunately it's just begun

Light & Love (also it 2009 now so hopefully your better!)
