Eating my Soul

By Ginger

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

my heart is filled with darknes, my life consumed by fear, my soul is black as ink, my eyes overflow with tears. i thought that i was getting better, but now i've gone back, i'm not sure what has happened, the present is again the past. i cannot sleep at night, my dreams turn into nightmares, i cannot close my eyes, the darkness is too much to bare. i have no appetite to eat, my throat it will not swallow, my stomach feels so full, and yet it is so hollow. i try to shrug away these feelings, i do not want them here, but i cannot shake them, my brain is consumed by fear. the tv is my comfort, so is this computer screen, i sit and lay down all day, i don't even have the power to scream. no one has noticed my despair, i wear long sleeves to hide the cuts, the cuts, yes the cuts, they are still there. and my fists are raw, and they are soar, i use them to beat out my frustrations on the door. i cannot explain what is happening, it's like something inside of me, eating my soul, and consuming my brain, like it will never let be be the same.
