Cycles Of Agony
June 22, 2011
A ticking bomb ready to explode.
A balloon so filled it could burst.
An overwhelming feeling at the pit of my stomach.
Adrenaline rushing through my every vein
Dangerous thoughts cross my mind,
But I try not to listen.
Heavy breathing.
Silent tears.
I try to find my way,
But I'm walking around in circles
Repeating the cycles of my agony.
Physical pain no longer hurts,
But silently suffers.
My feelings are numb,
But my heart is breaking.
I try to have faith,
But how long til it's over.
