I Need To Know

By Rachelle Ann Ramos
Sept. 22, 2004

Comfort, no where to hide
Like a deer caught in the headlights.
Vulnerable, nothing to hold me,
Caught in the onslaught of conflict

Conflict of desire, truth, and deceit
Forever entangled in the web of hurt
Numbness found in unlikely places
The knife in the kitchen drawer

Drop by drop it soothes me
Bathing in comfort of my own pain.
Mine, no one else to rob me of.
No one can take it away.

No one can touch me.
I live for me. Only me...
Then why do I feel so used?
Why is it people can still hurt me?

Why me, why is it I put myself out there
Just to be hurt again?
Like candy I was seduced by the wrapper
Artificially sweet I was drugged

Abused, passed around like pills to the junkies.
You can't have me anymore... yet
I'm an addict on the run.
Running away yet chasing it.

Why do you affect me like this?
Why do I cause so much conflict?
Why? Why me?
What did I do to deserve this?

Expendable? Me? I'm not your cannon fodder
I will not. I refuse to be used up like cheap fuel.
I'm not the insect on your windshield
I'm a human being

I can feel. I feel pain, confusion, conflict of interest.
You were my prince. Now you are twisted.
You're selfish
Robbing me of all my comfort

Why am I so lost,
I need to know,
Need to know,
I NEED TO KNOW!

About the author Rachelle Ann Ramos: I'm attempting to be an author, at any age writing a book is an amazing feat. But I bet it's harder when your just a highschool freshmen. I have always dreamed about being an author of an inspiring book in which teenagers can relate to. I certainly hope I can get through this let alone highschool.
