black mirror

A Poem by shawnt5604


my own mind
telling my thoughts to shut up
as if i wasnt sheltered enough
im making myself
even more closed up

 

is it possible to feel chlosterphobic
inside my own head
feel so alive but dont want to show it
even my own words
i havent read

 

dont read them
because im afraid to
what do my own thoughts sound like
to you

 

trembling
not with fear anymore
but anticipation
because today i read it
and i think i know the translation

 

disturbed
by what i used to think was true
inspired
by finding what i now know as
you

 

not me anymore
because the mirror doesnt look back
when your eyes are closed
