Poetry: Empty your mind

by Nekia Mcdonald

Created on: June 15, 2009

my life is going by like the hands on a clock

my days are filled with strong emotion but no one to share it with

my body has become a shelter for pain

my mind is engulfed in a thunderstorm

my soul is crying out for salvation but it fore-sakes me

i have been left behind floating in the abyss

i talk to god but does he hear my cries

i feel like death is to good for me not sure if there is a home for my soul to lay

what hell have i unleashed that has taken control of my heart

why wont they release me and give me inner peace

have i been cast into the pit and not recognized my surroundings

or am i so lost that i can't find my way home

the world has become a place of turmoil and chaos

my thoughts are of the sounds of laughter and giggles

my memories have become like old Polaroid's fading away
