Trapped

I sit here 
Watching life pass by 
With dead eyes 
Silence all around me 
Soundless screaming 
From inside 
Annihilating me 
Myself 
I watch from afar 
As a stranger takes over 
My enemy 
Life is all beautiful 
A distant dream 
Of hazy remembrance 
A piercing pain 
Killing me slowly 
Softly 
I smile quietly 
Time stands still 
In all my fears 
I tell myself 
Try to erase those thoughts 
Unhinging me from inside 
Breaking my resistance 
Trapped inside my mind 
Tears fall 
With no choice.

The reader is brought to mind images of many faces that settle to one. The choice of words, linking of one thought to another is very refreshing.

The depth of this poem is a bit daunting because I too visit my own mind made cell and become stuck and trapped in the moment. Your honesty penned into this fine poem is good self-care...This moment as all moments, will pass...
