Opting for defeat

A self made solitude of lost hopes

doors slammed shut without the keyholes

no way in and no way out

Stuck in a falsely presented safety

Alone

Alone in the darkness

in the festering pits of a damaged mind

Hidden to eyes refusing to see

Buried in emotion

Screaming endlessly at the chorus of the wind

These hands fumble on the doubt

Walls bleeding merciless profanity's

Running

Running forever on a loop

Caught in the rip tide

Lost beneath the waves of regret

Consumed by phantom like villains

figments of a strained imagination

A raging war with only one soilder 

Commissioned on expired dreams

Abandoned in the wasteland

Corrosive bullets birthed from a seething mind

The barrel turned inward

Thoughts like wildfires

Just a second to taste the air

Choking 

Acidic words tumbling down a frozen throat

poisoned from within

An intentional contamination

A willing surrender

This is a great write something few and far between on this site

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this is really well penned, sounds like a battle with self...and that is such a hard one to win.
