Title: An attempt at a poem.
Post by JenniferD on Mar 2^nd, 2006, 12:58pm

It starts, that drumming sound
heard over a satanic voice.
My tired body tries to fight it,
over and over it plays its rhythmic hell.

Sweat begins to form, now falling like
droplets of pain, a tangible show
of this ache from within.
I wipe it away, refusing to let it cover me.

My aching muscles, now strained
and sore, reach out
Searching for some magic button
To turn off the sound, the drumming, that evil voice.

I gasp for air, my dry mouth begging for
a sip, a drop of cool water to quench my thirst
But alas, there is no time, for the voice screams
and the drum’s relentless beat pounds on and on.

It screams at me, taunting, mocking me.
Forcing me to push on, to lift my arms
And flail my legs, to lift the weight
of my sluggish and worn out soul.

Finally, from Heaven it comes
softness of music touches my ear,
letting me rest from this horrid nightmare
yet knowing that tomorrow it will return

And bring with it, by its very nature, a fiercer
and more painful hell, its duration seemingly endless.
Oh what have I become? How did this happen?
Tomorrow, I will summon the strength to overcome.

Remember the Jane Fonda tapes? Was I the only one who'd chant this to the music:

You bitch, you bitch, I hate your skinny ass...
