Sickened
My own poetry makes me sick
i crindge away from the words
the smells that it brings flooding into my nose
the tatse it brings to fill my mouth
bitter acid
i shut my eyes from the memories that flash
the dark my eye lids create just adding to the reality of the illusion
gag reflex kicks in as i re-read the words i have written myself
they are disgusting
hate fills me so purly
cloaking the hurt, the pain inside
it makes me want to throw things
to hit something
to become death himself
stealing away the life of a beast
one name echos in my mind
at the moment this name isnt a nightmare
its a hitlist
"Kirk"
i turn away from what i write
but i must go back and finish it
i see in my mind an inferno
where i take everything i have written and burn it
laughing. silent.
as my past expires
but burning paper cannot help
because my past is burned into my mind
charred flesh
i read what i have written
my past
and want to run
want to leave my lunch
half digested on the floor
the thought of him does the same
not only to me. im sure.
my own poetry
my past
sickens me
