When I Suffer...

A Poem

By Marisa DayPublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

when i suffer...

my chest is aching

my body is shaking

my head is spiraling

i can't focus

when i suffer...

my stomach is churning

my hunger is fading

my mind is racing

i can't sleep

when i suffer...

my fingers are weak

my legs are heavy

my eyes don't see

i can't stand

when i suffer...

my attention is gone

my silence is long

my actions aren't wrong

i can't live

when i suffer...

my weapons are ready

my hands unsteady

my escape is deadly

i can't refrain

...

my sheets are old

my house is cold

my death is foretold

i'm gone

heartbreak
