Everlasting Pain
I lay in bed with this soft blanket that covers me.
The dark night is encasing me.
Leisurely suffocating me.
I feel claustrophobic.
The dim moonlight shining through my bedroom window;
Interrupting me from my long lost sleep.
For days my eyes haven’t been able to heavily close for more than a second.
Too many thoughts interfering with being able to drift into a world of not caring.
I can feel the tough, rough hands of a monster grasping my neck.
I can’t breathe.
I fight to just get one breath of air.
Uno, dos, y tres.
Three breaths helping me live again.
But the pain will not go away.
Heart pounding.
Body shaking.
Mind aching.
This pain is everlasting.
One of my worst poems, but it holds a lot of meaning.
