The Pain I Feel Inside


The pain I feel inside

is empty and it’s dull

and sinking

and throbbing

and slow.

Like a broken heart,

but with no obvious

cause at all.

 

Loneliness sets in

and the room gets dark

as I prepare my sin.

One more time

the feeling’s gone

not forever —

but least 'til morn.

I let it in and let it go

it takes a second but — 

Oh, I feel it now!

 

I sink into the floor,

it wraps around me

and I feel warm.

the Sweetness hits me now

and I become 

one with the ground.

It morphs around me

and within me and

consumes me in a blanket — 

 

My blanket gives me comfort

and silence in my head.

My thoughts all stop

and I surely don't feel pride

but I do no longer feel

the pain I feel inside.

I am 24 years old and enjoy writing in my spare time. It is a great way in my opinion to get out thoughts that I have trouble expressing through speaking. Most of my poems are about me or my life experiences, but I also like to write some fantastical poems as well when I am feeling a bit more creative. I am usually pretty shy about what I like to share and write mainly for myself so using this website is the first time I have decided to share in a more public way.
