I keep
myself away from my inner self
For fear I might
contaminate the peace of my soul
Submerged within
the silence of solitude
I spend my
days disturbed and distraught
Sleepless nights
haunt my distressed mind
I seek neither
solace nor sympathies
I bleed
every moment of every hour
Of every
day of my wretched life
Nothing comforts
me anymore
No more
dreams
No hopes
No strength
left
For recovering
this time…
