The Best Poem Of Devon Vasquez

Mental Illness

my nervous system is a shattered wreck
sleep escapes me
dreadful nightmares frighten me awake with sweat seeping through my clothes
eating ails me
staggering nausea oppresses me
my flesh trembles without cause
splitting headaches grind my temples all night long
endless suffering, palpable pain, crushing and insatiable
i feel it immensely - but the problem is - I can't tell where it is coming from - it's maddening - an endless torture - how to make it stop is my main concern
