Sickening screams from within, writhing and spinning,  
feeling no pain. 
Numbness quenching every fiber and nerve, filling a 
being with no reserve. 
Squelching any ambivalence of running or staying,  
cut off from a world of bitterness and rage. 
Totally eclipsing any endeavor to quit or give up  
and stray beyond twilight nights.
RoseAnn V. Shawiak
