This Pain I Feel Poem by Emily Swinney

This pain I cannot ignore.

It haunts me with such force I feel nothing more.

It follows me through it all.

I feel as if I will fall.

It will not let me go.

If it does I will not know,

For I am dejected, forever low.

I feel it emerging into my being,

Into my everything.

It is weighing me down.

I fear I might drown.

I hope it will leave so I can finally be free.

But, I know it won’t because it is deep inside me.

It is lurking silently now,

But it knows the secrets of how,

To get into my core.

It needs nothing more.
