I Write Poetry

Trapped Inside

Trapped within the memories of the past
My best dreams have become my worst nightmares
Contemplating the end, as if it’s my only option
I don’t think I can move on

The pain bears down on my soul
Like a weight designed to hold me back
My cries fall upon deaf ears
Every eye is blind to my scars

A voice speaks that is not my own
The chilling fear seeps into my mind
The pieces of my broken heart are scattered
I only have myself to blame

I should have never let you in
It could never end well for me
Now I am broken and alone
Left out in the cold to suffer

Will you lend a helping hand?
To a lost and broken soul
The slits on my wrist show you where I’ve been
My failed attempts to escape

I am trapped within my own hell
Contained within the darkness
I see no way out
Apathy begins to set in

My soul continues to cry
My heart continues to break
My mind succumbs to it all
I become numb to the pain
