Nausea

by vicki   Aug 8, 2006


The darkness closes in
It gets closer and closer,
Faster and faster,
My breathing gets shallower and shallower,
More desperate.

The sweat sticks the clothes to my body,
Collapsed in a heap on the stone cold floor,
The smell of disinfectant fills the air,
But itâ??s still dirty.

I try to scream for help, but no voice comes,
I scream and scream silent words,
Tears of anger roll down my face,
Stinging on my cheeks.

My heads spinning with images fit for a nightmare,
Iâ??m burning to touch,
Yet Iâ??m covered in goose-bumps ,
And shiver after shiver races across my skin.

I feel the lumps rise up in my throat,
The nausea runs through me.
Like a violent wave crashing onto the shore,
I feel the badness leave my body.

Itâ??s finished. Slowly light re-enters my watery eyes.
My breathing slows. Heart beating a calmer, rhythmic, beat.
The desperation is replaced by guilt.
Disgust with my self.
