Here I sit alone, once again,My heart is barely beating,I am entirely consumed by pain.I feel like my blood is overheating,And yet my body says it’s freezing. Still these showers drench me more,All my fears rain down on me.The pain has sliced through my core,I am once more unable to see.Are the wounds meant to be sore? I could feel that I was hurt,Stabbing pains throughout my system. Sick of being treated like dirt,But now I’ve reached my friend,The one who is there to the end…Total numbness. Could I be suffocating?This strange feeling consumes me.Or am I still breathing?Yet again I need be set free.Am I really sick of crying? I feel like I’m losing my mind,Can’t go on living this way.I’m now completely blind,Can you see an end in the new day?I can feel I’m falling behind. My heart is being eroded,Slowly, I feel it wear away.I think it be better if it exploded,What more is there to say? And so I ask…Where is the end? By: Lizelle Steyn31 August 2006
