Drowning in an endless sea... <br /> <br />Torments of bruising pain... <br /> <br />Gnawing and gnashing upon the heart- <br /> <br />Grinding bitterly in much heated disdain; <br /> <br /> <br />Suffocating in too much knowledge... <br /> <br />With coping mechanisms all but spent-- <br /> <br />Heart beat 'tis mal-propelled... <br /> <br />Wondering where time went; <br /> <br /> <br />Coiled into insomnias nightmare... <br /> <br />Rewound in endless replay... <br /> <br />Oh-the agonies of an aged life... <br /> <br />The harsh realities of today; <br /> <br /> <br />Same time tomorrow...! <br /> <br />Same time this day...! <br /> <br />Tortured in circles of ugliness... <br /> <br />Blue skies now turned grey; <br /> <br /> <br />Nothing to change a worried life... <br /> <br />Nothing to ease all of the pain-- <br /> <br />Drowning in an endless sea... <br /> <br />Dying over and over again; <br /> <br /> <br />The Golden Rule <br />June 18,2010<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/endless-30/
