Coffin Shaped Room

By Sorrowful Jester

"Coffin Shaped Room"

Locked room
Locked with no one, but a half-empty shell, inside
Half-empty room filled with noise
Noise caused by voices from the insides of her head
Sadness, the only thing still left
Sadness, the shell of her past self
A shell filled with childish dreams
Dreams of days when she used to dream of crying and woke up laughing
Dreams of no more happy dreams followed by sorrowful awakenings
Dreams of a reality devoid of tears
Memory filled room
Walls painted with thoughts
Thoughts riddled with errors
Someone must have created a puzzle out of abstract shapes
Inside this room thoughts and emotions make no logical sense
Nothing makes sense
Noisy room with just a keyhole
Passers-by take a peek, and sigh
It seems that time stands still inside this room
Noisy room turned into a graveyard
Graveyard of thoughts
Graveyard of dreams
Graveyard of time

I'm getting the picture of being trapped in one's own head. When I was using meth I felt trapped by addiction and I couldn't break free. And it started to scare me. I may be entirely wrong with my interpretation but it's what it brought to mind.

I can just say I've been in many places, done many thing, tried/trying to live life at its fullest almost always. Although what I'm saying means that there have been dark spots in my lifeline as well. :)

Why, thank you, milady! I really like the prism from which you're looking at it and the way you connect dots. Although some wavelenghts might have gotten absorbed by darkness, or maybe every waveleghth escaped and you saw light threw it. I prefer staying under the veil of darkness if this is okay by you :)
