no escape(im my own prison)

By AnotherWitheredRose




my life feels like


like trying to scratch through concrete walls


desperate and demeaning





(id try to ask for help but i cant stop screaming)





my heart feels like


like its trying too hard keep its beat


'cause the outside is caving in





(and im claustrophobic inside my skin)







id try to break free but theres no way of escaping me






my mind feels like


like its trying to connect the dots


to place where everything went wrong





(i dont think i can handle this, i dont think im that strong)





going through the motion

of rolling with the punches

theres only so much one can take




(its just a matter of time, for me to break)

    I totally understand this feeling. It reminds me of my poem let me out, but that's more of a place, not myself. Good job love ~Kitty
