                        Pain a constant companion
                        emotional turmoil through unanswered questions
                        unresolved arguments
                        harsh words
                        stupid actions
                        bad reactions
                        hateful thoughts, doubts and fears
                        chaos, disorder
                        how did I land here?

                        Ever so weary of my toils
                        yet unable to quit this world
                        the burning desires within
                        tempered by pain
                        how much hurt can one soul hold?
                        how many tears can one's eyes cry?
                        how much pain can one's heart feel?
                        before growth is stagnated, held in place by fear?
                        such a hideous beast, fear
                        fed by the pain burning deep
                        by the tears softly falling
                        as parts of me shrivel within
                        curl up and hide
                        hoping they'll die
                        licking my wounds
                        heal says my mind
                        nevermore says my heart
                        weary beyond words
                        I stumble around
                        wishing I could just sleep
                        sleep and forget
                        escape the fear
                        the pain
                        escape this prison
                        a prison of pain.
