The prison I created

How did it come to this?
Where did it begin?
Was it when I said yes to him?
I didn't understand.

Now I stand here in anguish,
in a prison I created.
Wishing to break free.
Trying to break free.

Where am I headed?
Is it where I want to be?
I keep looking in the mirror,
but the person there's not me.

Now I'm falling in anguish,
in this prison I created.
Wanting to break free.
Fighting to break free.

Let me fall,
into nothingness.
I can't scream.
I can't breathe.

Theres no where left to go.
All those bridges I have burned.
I feel so cold.
Feel so alone.

So I lay here in this anguish,
in this prison I created.
Crying to break free.
Dying to break free.

    What deep and painful emotions very expressively written.

    You have expressed your thoughts so vividly in this that the reader sincerely hopes that things have gotten much better for you and life for you is good.

    I wish you sunshine and laughter and most of all a happy meaningful life with lots and lots of happiness and good days.

    If this is a muse ... I still wish you all the above things.

  • wow such a powerful poem! you expressed your feelings and thoughts very well. great write!

    I could clearly see the reflections of love and pain ... very beautiful poem ... Thanks a lot for sharing ..
    (Just one correction may be - Shouldn't it be "Where am I heading" - just a minor thing)
