When will it go away?

The pain in my chest

Pain in my stomach

Pain. 

It’s repetitive and never stops

It creeps up on me like bugs

Stings like a wasp

Bites like a mosquito

And leaves, taking a small part of me

Some say it’s a part of life 

Maybe I don’t want that

If this is life 

Maybe I don’t want any p...

I used to have a reason

to get up and fight for truth.

I used to have light in my eyes

is sit here alone, remembering home,

wishing I’d been true.

I used to have friends,

things I could call wins.

Sitting here thinking, another week gone.

Another small increment moved from the fire.

and in the struggle, you miss the details

There’s a heart that beats

and a clock that chimes.

Seeds won’t grow in a barren land.

Something stalks me, something’s there.

Something haunts my every prayer.

Aggravation, life slips by.

Desperation, sleepless nights.

No bird remains to sing his song.

so silence pounds the whole day long.

In beat with memory of the day

I clapped to make him go away.

The fault, it clearly lies with me

the bird was what the bird should be.

Now I live knowing I was wrong…

to want to silence any song.
