Danielle Brunelle Poet Rhyme

Disease

I walk amongst them but nobody sees
I blend unnoticed 
As I inhale my disease

The air is constricted causing me to fall
All the things which once mattered
Now seem not to matter at all

Going nowhere just standing still
Trapped inside of loneliness
Since the day I grew ill

Clocks keep spinning around me so fast
I grow dizzy 
As I look back onto my past

I see faint memories of who I used to be
I see myself before I was infected 
And remembered what it felt like to be me

I breath in the disease and then hold in my breath
Again & again
Causing me to walk one step closer to death 

Given a battle to fight without a chance
I stood there with no weapon 
like a dancer without music to dance 

The disease has stolen my dreams 
I walk beside you unnoticed
unraveling at the seams 

After inhaling my disease I’m trapped in one spot
I vanish into a cloud of empty time
Whether I want to or not

I hold out my hands but no one is there for me
I walk beside you
Why can’t u see?

I call your name but am not heard
I try to scream 
But I’m unable to utter a word

My body is tired and my mind is awake
I am numb
I can’t feel yet I continue to ache

Shadows surround me without any signs of light
I walk amongst u
Simply pretending to be alright

The disease has planted its roots deep inside 
The day I had been infected 
Was the day that I died

I walk beside you smiling as if nothing is wrong
Pretending to be like you
Although I haven’t been for so long 

Blending into the crowd until I  fade
Vanishing into a realm of sorrow
Inside the lonely life I made

Knowing soon I will meet my end and have to say goodbye
I no longer am afraid 
And I no longer cry

The disease made me numb and is all that I feel
I stopped crying 
My hopes and dreams no longer have appeal

I take a deep breath but still gasp for air 
The disease surrounds me 
I can’t find an escape but no longer care

Infected with an illness which has become my only friend
Will anyone remember me
Will anyone be there in the end?

I close my eyes yet no longer dream
The world around me vanishes
Nobody hears me frantically scream
