Inside


The door is shut

The walls are up

The blinds are closed

No one knows

No light is seen

How can this be?

Have they forgotten me?

My thoughts are jumbled 

Like a spiders web

My words are muffled

My words are dead

Love- I miss 

In this dark abyss

Hard to see the light

When nothig's going right

I say I feel fine- a lie

I'm dying inside

Try to make people happy, 

Losing my identity

Try to smile with my eyes

I go home- i cry

Hard to stay strong

I'm doing it all wrong

The pain is never ending

I need to keep on fighting

Win this eternal war

I'll trap it in a jar

Hide it deep into a closet

Behind other hidden things

Lock the door, throw the key

Lift my head high-keep smiling

Others have it worse-

Than me
