Throwback Thursday Poetry: Ever More

Pain is growing
slowly growing
inside my mind
and all around
not stopping
not ceasing
increasing, increasing
ever more

Compassion is shrinking
slowly shrinking
inside my brain
and all around
only retreating
only ceasing
decreasing, decreasing
ever more

Bitterness is rising
slowly rising
inside my psyche
and all around
not desisting
not ceasing
increasing, increasing
ever more

losing my life
losing my mind
for all i cry
i do not ride
to the sky
i fall down
on the ground
and die

Early poetry from James. From the poetry collection Pariah Bound: The Lonesome Poetry.
