My mind is a prison
Capturing me with bars of emotion
Frustration boils over like a steaming pot
I can't escape
Fake happiness guards me
I can feel it plastered across my face.

Empty

All joy is gone
Every laugh, every smile, forgotten
Nothing more than a whisper
A black void inside me
Swallowing the light
Eating everything that made me human
I can feel it drain me until there's nothing left
I'm a machine that needs fixing.

Broke

Arguments are still fresh in my mind
Hateful words laced with venom and poison
From where I lie, in the darkest corner of this room,
I remember the long, sleepless nights
Where voices were raised and ornaments were smashed
Lives were torn apart and hearts were broken
Six years old with nowhere to belong
Two houses and neither are home
Emotional scars are not physical and visible.

Voices

They rain down on me

Worthless
Alone
Forgotten
Nothing
Pathetic

They chew me up and spit me out
Casting me into the darkest corner
The corner where my demons dwell
"I can't drown my demons
They know how to swim."

Powerless

I'm not in control
I'm overpowered
I'm trapped
I'm numb
I'm empty

I. Am. Nothing.

We do poetry in English and had to write a poem as an assessment so I opened my brain and just let everything out. Antisocial-Emo please can you make me a cover for this?

Thank you to everyone reading this trash xox
