Tulisha Blackshear Poet Free verse

Red

Red
blood boiling
my head aching
turmoil within
the madness begins

anger welling 
inside of me
so deep within
I can hardly see

angry at what I've become
and it's only just begun
this madness consuming me
seems red is all I can see

so what's the point of trying
when inside my soul is dying
from deep within it's crying out
oh what's this life all about

so I'll just keep on fighting
these feelings now abiding
welling up inside of me
I cry out to the powers that be

now I lay awake in bed
trying to rest my aching head
and put aside all of my sorrow
hoping for a better morrow 

so I pray silently in my head 
that I will see anything but.....

welling up inside of me
