Poetic Pain Poem by AuJahnae Coady

I get lost deep in my thoughts
My mind draws a blank
What next? The little voice says
Now it's time to think
Not think, but free write
Let it all out
No holding back
Even the loudest shout
I scream so loud
But not physically
On paper I had to release it
The inhale that had been waiting
Long hours to be set free
The time was now
And the person was me
The emotions I endure daily
Builds up from pain testing my patience
No more trying to fake it
I'm in my mind like I can't take it
but this poetic pain
I must sustain
It eases my mind
Like the gentle rain
And calms my soul
Now I'm back in control
Only until the next episode…
