Crazy Pain

I'm crazy with pain
Running around the 
house
Looking for a corner
That can cradle me
Down on the floor again
I spend all of my time on 
Hard surfaces
Looking for a way to 
Mask my suffering
Sitting on the countertop
Crying on the bathroom 
Floor
The bed is too soft
To contain my torment
Anymore
soaked through with 
Tears and sagging 
Lonely years 
i can't 
Take much more
How will i go on
Without the person 
Who i was before

Juli- Michelle Date: 9/13/2012 9:12:00 PM I feel every inch of your poem. I have been here and still am in a sense. This write just spills your thoughts and actions into words so clearly, I feel like I'm you. That's a sign of a true writer. I love it, going into my favorites, thank you for sharing zaida, and a beautiful name <3 Login to Reply Zaida Ruiz Date: 9/15/2012 12:58:00 PM Thank you. It's bitter sweet because it's good to know that people experience things in similar ways and that we are not alone out here but it's sad to imagine that anyone else has experienced such anguish.
