“Change” by Jessie Peterson

The screaming voice I hear so loud

With my mind so blocked off

Like a crime scene with tape

I wish for solace

I wish for love

But the darkness is too dark

And my cry for help is ignored

My eyes filled with tears

With an empty soul so alone

The numbness just gets more numb

And I only become more lost

I turned to God

I turned to the bible

Wishing this feeling would vanish,

Slowly and lonely I wait for help

As the fear just becomes greater

I don’t understand why the innocence is lost

It’s too late and I can’t turn back

All I want is my happiness back

But it’s all gone

Life just goes on

And times ticks away …


Inspired by page seventy-four of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451
