Help, i'm trapped inside my mind.
I feel the walls closing in, i feel them moving closer from behind.
Figures of shadow loom over me.
I look and stare, what are these?
They look like me with sadness in their eyes.
You could tell by staring, they are all sad inside.
One shakes and shivers, like a child afraid of the dark.
Another is as white as a ghost, as bright as a spark.
Two look dark and blue, staring at each other.
They are separated, though they seem to need one another.
I look back around and see the walls are gone.
Maybe it was them, maybe they are done.
But i look to my sides and there they are.
These figures crowd around me.
Like that want to suffocate me soft and soundly.
Finally i realize.
All these figures, are what i am inside.
Haven't written much lately, but i'm proud of this.
