Write what you feel.


The ringing blares as
Bells of caution go off
Constantly screaming their warning

You try to ignore them
Act like nothing is wrong
We both know better

The thought of facing the situation
Strikes fear
In the pit of your stomach

This feeling consumes you, doesn’t it?

It keeps you from doing the simplest
Functions as it slowly rules your life

Abruptly ending the relaxing sleep
And peaceful dreams you once had

If sleep does come,
The dreams are far from pleasant
They deceive you
For they, once again, trigger the bells

So, think you can get away from them?

You can’t.

So, please, listen to the bells
They aren’t a false alarm
