Escape to Serenity

I'm trapped within me

My thoughts tearing me apart

Serenity: not an option

It's breaking my heart

I'm screaming inside

I can't break the binds

that hold me so tight

I feel so confined

I have run out of tears

and places to go

So i just keep the pain in

so nobody knows

When i look in a mirror

My face seems a blur

Or is it the tears in my eyes?

I'm not really sure

I'm forced to stay like this

My image: a ghost

For you can't escape yourself

and that's what scares me the most.
