Imprisonment

These incessant voices in my head,
Slowly tearing me down into shreds.
These invisible metal chains and ties,
Binding me down in a bed of lies.

It feels like a trap. I know I’m stuck,
Stuck in a maze of my own construct.
I try and try, but I’m running in circles
Some days just getting up is a struggle.

My comfort zone has become so small
Please forgive me for not answering your call.
I put up a smile when I want to hide
These endless battles only I know inside.

Trapped and confined within walls well defined.
Can’t you see how I’ve become a prisoner of my mind.
