Am I Alive?

Am I Alive?

By: Alexis Manley

I'm breathing
yet i feel nothing
but pain and agony

why cant I just be free
from the chains of
this cage of a life

I am alone
in a boxed
room behind closed curtains

I dont want to feel this way
I dont like feeling this way
But I feel chained

I feel lost
I feel helpless
laying here on the floor

bleeding out
from the wounds
of my heart

my heart beat
is all I can feel
but yet I feel somewhat

alive yet dead
I have a pulse
I have thoughts in my head

where did I go?
Six feet under?
In a shallow grave?
