Unable to Flee


Incarcerated within my own thoughts

No way to express, I begin to rot

Silence so cold, I’m left in distraught

Unspoken words find nowhere to stop

 

Deceiving memories

Hold the mysteries that will never be

For what I used to believe

Is no hidden under concrete

 

Upon I stumble

The hidden rumble

Silent actions, I begin to fumble

Untouched dreams begin to crumble

 

Dissociate the inner retaliations

No chance of deviation

My life is my own creation

Of the monsters that have taunted me
