Influenza

30/07/2012

In the dark I wait

Cornering myself to the wall

Contaminated with a disease

That the mind cannot control

Voices echo in my head

Laughing and poking fun at me

I clasped my head and dragged down my hair

Asking them to stop

Then silence and I saw myself seated in front of me

Killing the pain that forced me to die

Author's Note

Sometimes words cannot express how much one is hurt at times ... but i just wrote what came to me .. nothing personal .. just expressing .. your comments are appreciated =)

Very good use of language in the poem. The title caught my attention. The use of your description create vision of sickness. A very interesting poem. Left mystery and I wanted to read more. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
