The choice

By Patricia Duckwell

To stay or to go?

She's invading my mind.

I've gotta fight back!

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!

I do what I want to

She tells me to come with her.

But I know if I go I may…

NEVER return.

She urges me to come.

Her words are so inviting.

The thoughts races though my head,

like a river down a mountain.

Yes, GO

NO, STAY     

What do I do?

Give in she beacons

Come to me she urges

Be by my side help me she sounds so…

NO

The pain will leave if you come she says

The pain is too much.

My mind runs like runaway train,

and I can't catch it.

I…give in

I feel her surround me with her power.

And from there on…

It's like I'm watching

A move I can't feel anything

I can't smell anything

I've lost all control

Why did I give in?

How could I?

I'm so lost!

When will I get…

Home?

Save me!
