When I Suffer...

A Poem

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

I'm young, in love with the idea of love, and I'm trying my hand at getting better with poetry after years of doing it mediocrely.
