today

Oh it hurts enough
to know 
this much 
and growing up 

when I am touched 
it feels and rushes down 
down to my ankles 
rises up again and 

someone made it 
such a tricky game 
so I am not focused on winning 
I am not a 

will you tell me 
(when it's over)
if the ache is gone forever
I will run and I will never 
stop.

  1. Thanks Shaela for the comment you left me. I read your poem last week when you first posted it, I couldn't decide to say anything because to me this poem shows so much pain and i guess i feel awkward saying any one line that stands out to me. Though I will say that I notice all of your poems have a really clever ending that gets the feeling through. I like how in this one you said "I will run and I will never/ stop." I think it's very effective how you moved the word "stop" to a separate line (that really places emphasis).
