A sad life it really is <br />Looking around and all I see is grey <br />Past…hmm…all grey… <br />Let out a sigh <br />Shake the head <br />Can I take much of it, I ask myself <br /> <br />A burning pain I feel inside <br />Look to the side, try to ignore <br />Ha, how I wish <br />It’s with me I can’t ignore <br />Close my eyes try to relax <br />There it is again but more intense <br />The pain is focused <br />It’s coming up and I taste it. <br /> <br />For days, weeks, months and years <br />Felt it all but kept it all <br />Like a volcano, I built it up <br />Dormant now, but for how long <br /> <br />The pain inside, the tears behind <br />All held back but for how long <br />“I’m okay”, with a smile I say most times <br />But you don’t have to know, it wasn’t your fault <br /> <br />With every heart beat I ask myself <br />“How long till silence dawns...? ”<br /><br />Obaro Useh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/from-then-till-then/
