EVIL BLANKET
BY FIONA CUMMINGS
Laying here
In total fear
Of winters chill
Who will kill
A razor runs through my veins at
night
So dark squeezing me tight
Something sits on my chest
Making it impossible for me to
wrest
I try to push the pain away
But it always wants to stay
Causing so much trouble
Until the dawn of a new day
I can’t burst the dreadful bubble
It’s there all the time
Hanging over me
Pushing me down
So low I can’t get up and climb
So I stay on the ground
Then after a while
I
walk what seems a mile
Get out of bed
Clear my head
Come and take some tea
Try to sort out what is best for
me
No one to talk to
Nowhere to go
Life passing so quickly
But I’m going so slow
I dread bed
Placing my head on the pillow
Filling my heart with sorrow
Praying for tomorrow
Forgetting yesterday
Hoping the evil blanket will go away
