Poetry: Desperation

by Marea E. Johnson

Created on: December 14, 2008   Last Updated: February 10, 2010

There's a feeling deep inside of me

that makes me want to cry

I don't know what it's doing there

I keep on asking why.

There is no explanation

that can help you to relate

There's nothing I could say

to make you understand my state.

I want to keep on moving

but I don't know where to go

I need to find the answers

to the things that I should know.

My sanity is hanging

on a little piece of thread

I'm paying close attention

so I don't go lose my head.

I choose to make no contact

with the world outside my door

I know what's out there waiting

I don't want it anymore.
