Day After Day.... Poem by Alexandria Rios

Nights never seemed so long,
Days never felt so painful...
Eyes longing for rest,
But mind boggling stress keeps me from this...

Desperation, covers my face,
Distress, flashing in my eyes...
Muscles so restless,
From the shivering long nights...

Pain and fury,
It carries my feet forward....
Only to start all over again,
Day after Day...

Failing to address the situation,
It's only tearing me apart....
Starvation, possibly sickness,
Making me tremble for something more....

Tears of pain,
Flooding, and destroying my life...
College, possibly high school is out of the question,
Just because of the most ignorant ladies I've known...

I don't know,
How I keep myself going...
Possibly my parents, maybe even my friends,
Or even the love of my life...

Day after Day,
I cry myself to sleep...
My life sucks,
It feels like I'm in Hell...

Everyday I cry,
And I feel like killing myself....
But I have loving family and friends,
I can trust with anything...

Why can't I grow up?
Why can't I see?
Finish; Unfinished business,
Just get it over with...

UGH! Why? ! ! ?
Why does my life feel this way? ? ?
Unable to breathe I reach for the gun...
BANG! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
