M's Poetry
In My Skin
Put this fire out, feels like I am burning alive
the weights have made me buckle
my legs feel numb
I can't hardly think without crying my eyes out
my strength feels as though it's been sapped
and every second feels like this could be the second
I might just snap....
please someone just hold me tonight
rock me to sleep like when I was child
I want to feel better, I want to feel like myself
but lately all my fears have come out to play
can't make them go back in
so I stand alone struggling with them
tears have become my daily routine
through the smoke screen
I see my life in a horror film
can't stop running....all doors are locked
the monster is consuming me
as the waning moments occur
I scream for some relief
or maybe even a miracle
but none comes and the screen turns black
in my silence lives my grief......
