My Mind Poem by Kimberly Lindsey

I feel empty
Alone
Sad
And broken.

I feel like crying
But there are no tears
Left inside.

I am sad
Yet, numb
The pain is just beyond
My mind.

My mind has taken refuge
And is hiding
Somewhere in there.

It knows
I can’t take the pain
That is waiting
To be felt.

My mind will cease
To function
I will be no more.

The mind is more fragile
Than the heart
I think.

The heart breaks
Over and over
And eventually will mend.

But the mind
Just closes
In upon itself.
