Push out the Pain- a Poem about Trying to Forget

Her mind screaming,

she runs out into the night air,

clad only in a scant gown.

Running in bare feet,

she stumbles and falls to the pavement

and lies there for a moment.

But only for a moment

as she is driven by clamoring echoes

she thought were long forgotten.

She pushes, and scratches,

with raw fingers and bleeding nails,

to get to her feet.

Her brain pulsating,

she rushes on into the darkness,

not feeling the blood on her legs.

Pushing onward in desperate attempt

her body takes over to release

the fear that her mind cannot.
