The Raging Inside

by VioletRaven   Nov 16, 2005


The room is spinning,
My head is spinning,
All of my thoughts are unraveling,
I can't hold on to anything.

I have pins and needles in my limbs,
My muscles contract in pain,
I'm sinking beyond the sea of despair,
To some raging awful emotion beneath.

Someone reach out to me,
Grab my hand and save me from the clawing nothing,
Into which I fall,
But no one's here,
The only one who can help me is so far away,
No one else can save me,
I can only save myself,
But I don't know how.

The keys dance beneath my fingers,
I am ill with motion sickness while sitting still,
I shiver from cold but inside my thoughts burn,
The pressure is building; I don't know how much I can take.

I'm slipping away, to where? I don't know,
Don't let me be swept away, don't let it consume me,
I can no longer see; I am blind, neither can I feel.
All sensation is lost to me, in my head I'm falling.

Drifting helpless, being dragged apart by inner demons.
I can't control my ragged thoughts, help me,
Please stop this, I plead with myself and to you,
Make it go away; even death is better than this.

    Wow, I can sense the emotion behind your words, really effective piece. I noticed how you changed the rhythm of the lines in different stanzas, and I think it worked really nicely and didn't come off as disjointed. I'm always trying to find ways to do this in my stuff aswell.
