freaks
- poems by michelle harries -

Lying here in my bed
Make believe that I am dead.
All is quiet, my breath is silent,
My heart beat barely heard.

The warmth and heat are all around,
The darkness, comforting.
Close my eyes upon the world,
Still my wand'ring mind.

Life moves beyond the window,
Owl hoots, Bat flies.
In here all is still, peaceful,
Lying here in the dark.

My mind drifts around the room,
Touching familiar objects,
Pausing here, alighting there,
Smiling at the memories.

The warmth is fading now,
My peace spreads through the dark.
Heart beat claimed by the silence,
My mind drifts away.



Fighting, fighting,
Always fighting.
I've lost before I've started,
Slowly giving ground away,
Ground to the other me.

I cannot lose,
winning is my sanity.
Losing before I start,
still I try to win,
To destroy the other me.

I am not like her,
I will not be her!
I cling to who I am,
Basing it all on love,
To beat the other me.

Love is what scares her,
Love she cannot kill.
Though she is strong, so strong,
She cannot fight me,
For I love the other me.



Close your eyes, what do you see?
Something nice, something sad,
Something that you once had?

I try to sleep, it won't come,
All I see are people, far away,
Smiling and beckoning to me.

I try to go, but cannot move,
The moon just shines down, so bright,
covering the world in silver light.

The people vanish, just me alone,
I stare around, the ground is gone,
light is dim where it once shone.

I float upwards to the moon,
she smiles down to the ground,
below me the world spins round,
Everyone below just goes on living.

I am here alone, so alone.
I gaze down to see you all,
What can I do, I can't go back down.
What is left, but up?

The stars recede behind me,
planets beyond counting spin by.
The galaxy is left behind,
I enter the blank nothingness.

Nothing around, yet something there.
What is that I feel, is someone there?
Surrounded by nothing, I stare blindly,
And then, I see, I see...

Nothing. Something was there,
but now it is gone.
Left desolate, alone,
I move on.
