I’m trapped in a box
But that box is my vessel
And my vessel is my body
And my body is me

Trapped within myself
My thoughts contorted
Into grotesque thoughts  
I once believed were only visible in nightmares

My body no longer feels like my own
I feel as if this is just an out-of-body experience
As I gaze upon the shell of who I once was
Confused by what I have become

I’m perpetually confused
Forever in a daze
Aimlessly drifting
As my past and present selves conflict

If I am who I once was
And not who I currently am
Then who exactly is the person
Staring at me in the mirror
Depression sad sadness paradox poem freeverse coping mechanism method depressed metaphor trapped within oneself
