Closed

This despair in my mind,

When I look at the face,

I see staring back at me,

In this broken glass mirror,

Is black, and cold,

I cannot be fixed.

This heart of mind,

Is shattered and cold.

I wish I could yell,

And scream these words out loud.

Why can't you see,

How much I hurt inside?

I want to cry out loud,

Instead of in my head,

Because bottling up my fears,

Is making me explode.

Do you ever want to burst,

With everything you hold?

The only thing that can help me now,

Is to open my eyes wide open.

Because keeping them shut tight to the world,

Is keeping me so closed.

Author's Note

Possibly the most disjointed poem I've ever written... Sorry about that :)

I love the poem, it's so truthful and real. You may want to work on the flow a little, but the imagry is amazing.
