Avoiding Poem by Gina Valenz

I'm avoiding something I can't describe
If I tried I think I might
Secrete the thing I hide
Exhaustion is overtaking me
From my pores I bleed
Mingled with sweat it streams
Over my parching skin, it steams
Thrumming in my head
Can't hear what I have said
I'm flailing as it's falling
Within yet without, now I'm stalling
Overlap perceptions
Visions disconnecting deceptions
I'm running vertically
Help me honestly
I need an ear
I need no fear
Undisturbed by my thoughts
Locked within the box
I'm avoiding something
I used to know
I'm avoiding something
It hurts my soul..
