Insanity Aches

Tearing in pain
Worlds of ungodly domain
‘Is this fair’
I echo as I pull on my hair.

I feel it crashing over me
In waves it breaks
One, two, three
These momentary insanity aches.

It’s coming from my chest
I cannot stop it from fleeing
Emotions get the best
Of this man, not even a being.

Pain is all I hear.

Do you expect more from me
A greatness that I should achieve
Should I have aspirations in front of me
I feel as if I should grieve.

This utterly dead ringing
I hear in my head bringing
A maddened state of being.

I have been writing poetry for the last 13 years. It all started as an assignment for a creative writing course. I never thought I would like writing, as I am dyslexic and language was always a struggle for me, but I fell in love with the art form in that class.
