Tricia Romine Poet Blank verse

I Broke Down

I broke down 
tears streamed down my face
screams inside my head on repeat

there's no way I can beat 
monsters in my mind
they're on full-time

I don't ever get a break
they just want me to fall
down; covered in sound

in the back of my mind
there never seems to be time
my thoughts are getting hazy

I try to shut off my brain
there's just to much pain
to much to try and forget 

So I stand in the rain 
and let water pour out of my eyes

The rain is my disguise 
it hides my tears 
and washes away my fears

I no longer ignore it 
or try to destroy it

I finally am letting myself feel pain
because I know there's always more to gain

I'll drown my demons in my tears 
of acceptance of the fact

Free of the monsters for a day
I smile and laugh until tomorrow 
then I'll do it all over again
