Nowhere
written by Poison Ivy03:24 AM 9/18/04Falling silently into the soft dirt of nowhere
and finding no way back
but further into the nothingness
of which i call home .
i crawl on the ground of the forsaken
and sit in the heavy darkness
as i bandage my wounds with cloths drenched in poison
and bitting my groans of pain behind my teeth .
Listening to the vultures above me
waiting for me to breathe my last breath
as my vision slips away
my growing anger is the only thing keeping me alive .
the sound of gripping bones
and the splash of my tears and blood
healing my broken dignity
my shattered youth
my ruined faith
and damaged state of mind .
looking at my surroundings and only see the fog in the darkness
i close my eyes and see more then when they are open
i see my desires and imaginary world .
Im glad i can see at all .
i touch my wrist and feel the risen scars
and i weep as i remember the reason for each one
and how long the wound took to heal .
i stand up and am pushed back down
from the fear of moving on
and seeing what path lies in front of me.
a path i don’t want to travel .
i wake up to see this is my home
although i have none
for i linger in the realm of nowhere
and here i will stay
and if i could leave
where shall i turn
not to you or they
i can find no way back
but further into nowhere
of which i call my home . . . |
