I feel sick...

by kathy   Sep 5, 2005


"mommy...I feel sick."
I whisper in a voice like a prayer
my face was hot
my skin was fair
she looked at me
and shook her head
"you'll be fine...
just go to bed"
so I crawled in bed
covered with blankets
sweating so much
yet I was shaking
hot tears blinded my eyes
from the pain in my stomach
i clenched it dearly
nearly screaming
my body shook
my joints ached
i cried out in pain
but no body came
my sheets were soaked with my sweat
and i could taste the bitterness of the vomit in my mouth
i threw back the blankets
and curled in a ball
i whispered for my mom
i bit my cheek
against the pain
blood filled my mouth
as i broke the veins
i closed my eyes
and plugged my ears
i held my breath
and prayed for no fear
darkness was surrounding me
darker the darkest black
i took a breath
and broke....
