When The Pain Is Just Too Much Poem by Linda Racaniello

With pain the keeps me awake
how much more can I take?
It's driving me absolutely insane
tearing at the fibers of my brain
Everyday is different yet the same
the pain is like a torture game
I can't eat or talk
I can't stand or walk
There's nothing anyone can do
no person or place I can run to
I want to die
just say goodbye
Kill me and forever be done
as I welcome the shot of a gun
I'm lingering at deaths door
I don't want to live anymore
The devil delights in my madness
while his minions grapple over my sadness
Like bugs crawling through the maze
of my mouth and nose laid slack for days
As they swim through whats left of my brain
I know that soon I blessedly without pain
For soon I will be able to leave this place
as my death will help me end this race
