I'm living in a nightmare

So close to my escape

 

But the smoke has gotten thicker

I can't see a light anymore......

 

I hear my mother screaming

Wish it was an illusion in my ear

 

But coming home

To this tornado wrecked house

Proves everything I fear

 

I gulp and swallow another nervous breakdown

My glands still swollen and sore

 

I've been sick now for almost a month

Another day in this house,

Can I survive one more?

 

This morning my nose was bleeding

But I had no desire to get out of bed

 

It seems this would be so much easier

But I shouldn't wish I was dead

 

Picking at the dry skin on my toes

And chewing my nails to nothing

 

What is left for me here is not much

But if I leave I know theres' something

Very sad but meaningful poem. Thanks for sharing

When it gets that bad, indeed it's time to go.
