So, I started carrying around a poetry notebook and it means I've been writing a lot more, my previous poem "History" took two days, this one however, 5 min
. Modern free verse, so I apologize for it's blandness...but I thought it turned out well enough to post...
Running
out of breath
pain pierces my side
my legs ache
sweat drips down my face and back
music blares into my ears
my heart pumps
my body rebels
my mind propels me
through the pain
away from a difficult, complex, and painful life
into blissfully ignorant exhaustion.
