Sudden Thoughts



Emptiness settles after
the anger subsides
The pain is numbing,
causing my spirit to die.
Misled by promises unkept-
The torment runs deeper
than the oceans depth.
I contemplate all of my mistakes
I lay wide awake
Wondering if I have been
raped
By life--
And what I thought
would be a gratifying existence
Turned out to be a pitiful resistance Against time
and the inevitable
We all must die!
Excitement turns into fear
masked by
What some see as strength?
At any moment
I will break
down into what
I have come to hate...
Me.
