Russell Sivey Poet Free verse

The Painful Truth

Seeping into my reality
I feel the effects
Of excruciating pain
Destroying my soul.
It obliterates my senses
Keeping me numb inside
Everything but the pain
Is careening out of me.
My heartbeat is incredible
Beating like an idiot
It jumps off a cliff
Unknowing where it lands
It hits the bottom hard
Bleeding to the truth.

Russell Sivey
