hospital beds
I drown in my sorrows
At all times
They seem to
Consume me
I wish there was a way
To defeat them
To turn them off
But they continue to
Flow out of me
Rushing like a
Waterfall
Never ending
I hate when I get like
This but I don’t
Seem to do a
damn thing about it
I continue to
drown
It’s going to wear
Me down
& age me I fear
Erode away
From the
Suffering and pain
Grief has become
My name
I no longer look
The same
The tears have melted
Away what was
Left of my face
My green eyes
Now red
Swollen from
The past
That wont
Unclench my
Brain
New grooves
Were made
But not in
A good way
How long will they
Stay?
My face discolored
From the pain
that has
stained my face
Will my frown
Forever stay this way?
How did it get this way?
When did life change
And become so grey?
Storm clouds from day to
Day
When was the last time
It was clear
And the sun on my face?
Hope ran through my viens
I looked forward to see the
Next day
Pricked by needles on the
day to day
florescent lights instead of
natural sunlight
my home became a cage
that no one would answer
to screams of pain
blood freezing in my veins
so they can’t
get what they need
from my veins
oh! When will the
pain end! When can I ride
my bike until the
sun kisses the earth
everyday
just play play play
but instead I lay lay lay
screaming in pain
while I watch
everyone my age
go outside to play
when the sun comes up
and until it slowly fades
away
