Blind Fury

by Alicia   Sep 14, 2009


The anger I feel is all consuming,
I am lost in the torrent waves of emotion and despair,
Tossing about in these feelings that plague me,
Being torn apart by my own thoughts,

Were that my skin was but a layer I could break through,
I would split it to escape the bonds that hold me,
To free myself from these haunting imaginings ,
I want to scream my heart to the Heavens,

Pray for an ear to hear my cries and pay heed,
I want to drown in my own blood and end this torture,
Burn my sins from my soul and hide from my shame,
I grit my teeth and bare this suffering,

Though my chest aches from the frantic beating of my heart,
My jaw locks from holding back my tongue,
Things that coil as a white-hot fire in my stomach,
My words rise like bile in my throat,

Choking the air from my lungs,
I cannot breathe and I am not sure I want too,
Let sweet darkness rise over my eyes and cover me,
May I be swallowed and hidden from the sight of the world,

Forgive me for being weak,
But I cannot take grief of lost trust,
If death cannot take away this discomfort,
May sleep claim me in the depth of dreams,

That I might be lost in world, not my own.
