Over

Over

A Poem by Nicole Schuster
"

for those who need an escape

"
I need it to be over
I need it to end
I need some way to turn off the noise
The pounding
The relentless banging in my head

I need it to stop 
I need it to cease
I need to find a way 
To put an end to what 
Threatens to destroy me 
From the inside out

I can't 
Do this anymore

I look
Through the puddles in my eyes
Wondering
Who this is 
Who's possessions these are
Who's face is staring back in the mirror
Who created this life
This room
And how they fell down here
How their heart broke
How their soul shattered

My heart burns 
Longing
My head pounds
Loss
My hands shake
Desire

But there is no escape
Not one that keeps these feet
Planted on the ground 
Not one that keeps those around
Intact and unbroken themselves

But I wonder
If that is the only way
To make the pain stop
To turn off the noise in my head
To end the burning in my heart
To finally heal the brokenness
Then why would I not?

The switch...which one or the other. Life and the soul still is loose. Sometimes the mirror reflects things we can never see. Look close and see into the cosmos for another adventure looming about. Great write.

It is certainly difficult to overcome a hard time. I can see your pain in this poem.
