Reason
Give me
A reason
I’ll sleep
In peace
Heart of my heart
In the heart of my heart
Buried deep, so deep
Lies a tiny little chest of scars
Locked forever to sleep
“Wake”, said the pounding
Of my heart so weak
“Wake”, said my being
Ever so bleak
The little chest quivered
And began to queak
Free myself
The language we speak
These masks we keep
I don’t want to see this
I want to free myself
To the point of no return
I’m a ghost
Just like a ghost
A past
A reminder
An existence
Of no use
Of futile purpose
I’m no less
More or less the same
I’m a ghost
In person
Staying alive
Fear
There was no reason
But her heart felt empty
Heartbeat was frantic
Is it anxiety?
Unnecessary she knew
It existed nevertheless
The Little Child Within
There’s a little child inside
Trembling with fear unknown
Even terrified to raise her head
To take a peek outside
Sitting in the darkest corner
Knees pulled to her face
Hands covering her eyes
She cries in tiny sobs
Hiccuping
Stained are her cheeks
Of tears dried
She has no idea
Why it’s so dark
She has no idea
What’s happening to her
She just lies there
For eternity knows when
With questions unanswered
Wisdom beyond her reach
After all
Awful image she is
Of the child I am within
Let me heal
Haemophobia
Blood, I smell
Iron, faded and rusty
Woozy, makes me faint
My head blares and thumps
Makes me queasy
My surroundings tremble
I quiver, with unknown tremor
Everything fades, becomes paler
My inner being, trying to wilt away
To escape the panic
My head begins to weigh a tonne
The picture fades out, lightening
I fall, frozen, cold
