This feeling in stomach <br />Can no longer be ignored <br />It stabs at my insides <br />As I tighten up this cord <br /> <br />This feeling in my head <br />Is no longer sounding peaceful <br />It mocks my every thought <br />As I kneel down for these people <br /> <br />This feeling in hand <br />No longer hurts my body <br />Its numbness leaves me gratified <br />As I hook this on the pulley <br /> <br />This feeling in my heart <br />Is no longer bliss or amity <br />It kills my every cell <br />As I say goodbye to the family<br /><br />Madeline Fazio<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-feeling-4/
