Mentally encased, 6 by 6
With hope of an escape,
But only with the impending danger
Of returning
Leaving without resolution

                without closure

Only left scarred with memories
Even with a new-found 'freedom'
Never actually leaving the prison.
Left confined within our minds
Even whilst unbound.

               left in solitude to cope

Left to eventually drown,
Losing your last breaths,
Your last hold on sanity....

               Fighting a lost war

So I wait, till such a time,
For a release unguaranteed
But will know for sure
Of freedom and peace

I'll be okay
Why can't i believe that.

I'll be okay
Why do i keep lying to myself.

I'll be okay
Why do these words make me feel worse.

I'll be okay
Why can't I be hopeful.

I'll be okay
Why can't anyone tell i'm not okay.

I'll be okay
Why can't i be okay.

I've been ******

Into a  black hole

No escape, given no remorse



Trapped; for all eternity

Doomed; to be forever alone

Gone; fading to a memory



Stuck in a swirling, never ending

               Black hole
