ash cummins Poems

Away, away, away we go!
Away from here for ever more.
We ride, we ride, we ride away...to our futures.
Blindfold our eyes,
...

Make it stop!
That rumbling, droning voice,
Which makes my eyes so heavy.
My head starts nodding...
...

It’s going to over flow and spill
Out. I’m sure it will.
Then what will happen?
You know, you’ve seen the pattern,
...

It burns, their eyes
Starring pointedly at the back of my head,
Burrowing into my skull.
They watch every move; record every mistake
...

How much more can this body hold?
Keep safely locked inside?
Away from innocent bystanders.
It builds up every day.
...

The screaming I can’t bear it.
Why does no one else hear?
How it rings inside my head!
Never ending…
...
