The Night

The Night

A Poem by Jen Walters

I am sitting here fighting tears of pain
Feelings of rage I cannot reign
My heart sits on a shelf you see
It no longer belongs to me

My chest is always heaving
It feels like I cannot breathe
I think of happier times long gone
I feel like I have gone beyond.

Beyond the time to heal
Beyond the time to feel
Beyond the time to clearly see
What it is that makes me Me.

I lock the doors to the world
In hopes for a cure
There is none you see
For the panic and pain within me

I long for someone to see my soul
And to accept me and all my woe
I know this too will never come
What have I done...
