Hello. I'm sharing another poem that I wrote. Because I'm slowly inching towards the point where I will explode with this pain that never ends. I don't know what will come of posting this.

-Mind Prison-

This pain never seems to go away,
It's growing in my head day by day;
I need an escape, I need an out,
Silently my mind does shout.

Every breath, every minute,
I feel like I'm drowning in it;
It gets harder the more I try,
It never gets easier the more I cry.

I've considered every possibility,
I'm becoming trapped in my own incapability;
What happened to the girl I knew?
Was she as helpless as I am too?

Everyone says it will get better soon,
And I'd be able to blossom out of this cocoon;
But they don't know that I've reached the end,
There's no hope for me, there's no mend.

I feel agony with every thought,
In an endless circle my mind feels caught;
When all I hear is a ticking clock,
Is a desire to escape really a shock?

My hands tremble, my body shakes,
How much more can one heart take?
I'm done searching for an explanation,
And I'm resigning to my desperation.

Thank you for sharing. I certainly see it as being so prison like feeling trapped in this existence.

It feels like a prison all day, every day. I don't know how one can keep going like this.

I'm so glad it resonated with you. It's comforting a little to know that my words made you see yourself in them. It means a lot to me and made me smile.
Thank you for sharing. Very well written.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. I hope it will get better soon for us, but hoping is so tiring and needs so much effort. Not sure if it's worth it.
