Nightlife
At night my ears fill with tears my mind fills with fear
Who will I become what will become of me who will I love
and will they in return love me
Too scared to think too scared to speak trying so hard
to be strong but feeling so weak
too tired to run to tired to hide
so I will shove it down
stuff it deep down inside
I will swallow the pain
I will swallow my pride
I will bottle it up and keep it locked away
Shut my eyes tight and continue to pray
thanking god for getting me through another hard day
trying hard to relax and think only good thoughts
listening to my shallow breaths
sleep is coming I can feel it now
is this death
did I just take my last breath
NO! it can't be I won't go out without a fight
please don't take me not tonight
I want to live
I want to see
you opened my eyes
and I could see life is a voyage
starting with me
my life will be better
when I begin to love Me.
By Jennifer Simpson
