“DOOM” by Lori – age 15
DOOM by Lori – age 15
The only visible light
Into darkness
The only relief is
Cut into my flesh
As deep as sadness
Pain passes away
But I will be left with the scars
From the past
I hear vividly the sounds
The screams.
I am but a bug
Invisible to life
Picked on when sought.
Pain is an addiction
The only life I’ve known.
Blood returns me to life
But at any mistake may turn me away
Sadness is but a dream,
Supplied by the haunted past.
Shame upon the head
Grows older into endless time.
Until the next time
I wait in endless time
For the end.
