#20 of My Poems

please don't ask,

I feel like fire races about through my body,  
My nerves crackle in my mind,   
Pain lances through out my form.  
Even as the thunder rumbles outside,  

I can feel the lightning swirling through the clouds,  
It crackles and crashes,   
The sound rough on my ears.

Even as I writhe in pain,   
My mouth clenches and teeth grind,  
I fight to focus through this trail,   
This challenge given to me.  
  
I try to adapt and feel disbelief in myself,   
When i find myself growing accustomed,   
Even as it grows, I find myself withstanding more pain.  
It feels heavy, this knowledge that i keep to myself..  
  
But i keep the record, Watching how the world changes,  
The weight of it all on my shoulders,   
The beauty, The darkness,  
I see it all, as if shards of glass are in my head,  
Stabbing and cutting even as i understand.  
  
That is the curse i bear,   
to see all, to sense all,   
to know what lies beneath the light,  
And what stands in the dark.

I can only feel love for everyone,   
Even as i want to destroy it all.
