Free From Me

Bottled up feelings in my heart.

Emptiness claws at my lonely soul

I scream silently as people stare

Darkness engulfs me

And I watch as it eats my sanity away

They say it gets better but does it really?

A bad day is just 24 hours they say, but why does mine look like infinity?

How does it feel like to be happy?

I question myself

And I hate to be me

I want to cry, I want to scream but I just stare,

Plainly at the walls built around me

And for the first time in a while, I smile

A smile so painful my cheeks hurt.

I question my sanity, as sleep with its terrors safely take me away

To a dream world where sorrow and joy have no borders

I thank my stars,

For at last I'm free

Free from the demons in my mind

Free from the bondages of my enraged soul

Free from me.......
