Growing Up
by Daunielle Ricardi
Dizzy
Speeding
rapid pounding crushing inner walls
everything spins and spins
and spins and spins
To try and grapple
to understand the world
would be like strangling a ghost
Choking
Draining
Emotions run dry
Tired
so tired
Life is is not to die
But just a break
a simple get away
just until it seems
that everything
will be
okay
Headache
by Daunielle Ricardi
Toss and turn
point of no return
spinning swaying
my mind its slaying
Can't stop, can't go
I take each blow
shaking
breaking
my soul it's taking
Insanity waking
screams and shouts
I WANT OUT!!!
Get By
by Daunielle Ricardi
A shred of sanity seeps into the darkness
Deeper
And
Deeper
Clouded by tremours of deception and despair
The shadow grows
Loaming over the heart
A light crawls through on it's hands and knees
as the Gods speak...
Athena's words repair all the wayword wrongs and sorrowed songs
Brighter and brighter the radiance
Illuminates
There's no escape now
A smile appears on tear-caked lips
Apollo rises
and vanquishes the demons
All is well again and the time to contemplate
Has begun...
