Christopher Goss Poet Free verse

Fearless

I watch the clock on the wall
Fearless in the face of the fall

The knife tears into my skin
Which is pale and paper thin

The blood gushes from the vein
Blossoming red on the bed it's a stain

I watch the ebb and flow
I know I have nowhere to go

Standing on the outside I realized
I feel like I'm despised

The roof rips off and rain comes in
Blending with perhaps my worst sin

I broke the walls down and built my own
And it left me here all alone

My room floods and the walls break down
My bed is now a ship so I skip town

In the rain nobody can see my tears
But with my flesh ripped open see my fears

Look me in the eyes and say it will be alright
When my heart is racing and I feel fright

Sailing an endless ocean with no visible land
My life is slipping away like grains of sand

But the truth is all of it is here in my head
And when I wake up I am still in bed

Even awake I feel lost in the darkness of my mind
As the past recycles memories as if on rewind

So many days where I just wanted to die
But I never really understood why

But when I took my medication the lights came back
And I realized my own thoughts had me under attack

But now when I feel the smile on my face
I know that I have finally found my place

Feeling whole again has transformed me
And my heart is once again free

So I sit here and look at the clock on the wall
Fearless in the face of it all
