Mental Alcatraz

What Do you do when self hatred wins;
Pushing down until all you feel is sins;
Spending endless time wishing to be saved;
From mental health and addictions craved;
When you can't shower from the depression;
Unable to do anything but blare music as expression;
Scared no one will listen cause no one ever has;
So my mind feels like Alcatraz;

Sounds like you have really been through the wringer. This poem is well rhymed and really speaks of the depths of your pain. The use of Alcatraz as a metaphor for your situation is quite effective. Keep playing that music, whether they listen or not. Do it for your own creative expression.

Thank you. As a well educated ex criminal I'm looking for opportunities but it's hard to findsomeone who understands what's life to try to exit crime in our 20s and 30s..

Great analogy, Jock! Love the title and how well you executed your demons. Awesome to meet you!

Very relatable.

Lucky for us, we can break out of Alcatraz.
