		<description><![CDATA[I wrote this one to my childhood friend Sarah, who got me started with poetry in the first place. This is actually the very first poem I ever wrote. I wrote it for her during a visit that she and her mother made to our house. Two years later it was published in one of poetry.com&#8217;s books. Yes, I entered one of their $10,000 contests. Looking back, I wish I would have bought that book. Sorry to say I don&#8217;t even know the name of it, or I would track down a copy and buy it now.Sarah, this is for you.
it seems like yesterdaywhen we playedin the rainand we wiped each others tearsfrom our eyes
it seems like yesterdaywhen we sharedall our painand we told of all our fearswe hid inside
it seems like yesterdaywhen we metand i regretgrowing up to leaveour world behind

with all this poison in my veins
i am getting sick and tired
of living with this pain
i live each day in fright
of what they forced into my brain
but now i am inspired
to start all over again

i cannot find the directionfrom which it is comingand i do not even noticehow quickly my feet are numbing
i trek across my landlooking for the tracksthat will lead me to this beastwhen i notice the pain in my back
and suddenly i come to knowi cannot feel my feetbut to rid myself of this monsterwould bring me a sense of peace
i can no longer feel painin these tired old feet of mineit has long since left my calvesand started its trek up my spine
