PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Unprovoked fury seeps out my pores,

And liquid strife forms under my strained eyelids.

A chemical reaction is boiling inside my pit,

Suffocating my heart,

Making it flee to my throat,

Gasping for air as it tries to reach the top.

I can’t breathe.

Anxiety strangles me

And paralyzes my clenching body.

I wish I was numb,

Anesthetized to it all.

I’m going to lock the doors and windows in my sleep tonight

To keep the persistent dreams from getting into my mind.

I just want my resting corneas to meet black slate,

No colors and no memories,

Please.

Just let me encase my eyes in darkness.
