There's no simile
no metaphor
no noun, no verb
no adjective unaccounted for
which describes
the sight eye see
when those two I's
look at me

Is it possible that if I shout any louder
You will finally hear me?
I can’t hear myself
There’s an overcoming white noise
A polished blade slicing through tension
I’m staggering in your direction
An outstretched hand, waiting
Longing for your comfort
Pleading for some saving
It’s a choking anxiety
Closing in around me
A paralyzing infection moving in
Cornered, beaten, and confused
Begging and pleading, always repeating
Please…
What will it take to finally be seen
I don’t know how much louder I can scream
Losing all confidence in strength
Fighting to stay conscious
Behind this defying smile
And invisible scars

Maybe it’s the simple idea of being trapped in my own mind
Of being encased in this ****** square box
Where all my voice does it echo
Echo... Echo…
Bouncing off these metallic confining barriers
And there’s not a single thing anyone can do
Unless you’re able to scale walls
While defying any logic that comes in to play
Maybe that’s possible
… Only maybe.

It began as disbelief
Slowly contaminating the air around me
Choking me from the inside
Losing sight of you as I see behind blind eyes
Coming to my senses, trying to stand
But it’s all so futile
Falling back down
Dropping to the cold, hard ground
Piece by piece
Shock numbs everything within
As it attacks from multiple directions
Leaving no room for mercy
Muted screams pour from my soul
While my heart bleeds words I can no longer say
Pushed down to my knees by your cruel hand
Kicking endlessly when I’m already down
Bruises bloom across my being
Attempting to build walls that never come
It’s too late now
You have me cornered
Back against the world I used to know
Broken terror rips through my body in waves
A burning sensation lingers in these lungs
Making it impossible to breathe
If I leave now, maybe he’ll stop… Please…
These voices grow louder by the second
It hurts more than I could have possibly imagined
The severing of these bonds we created
Has never felt so real
