Caged Beast

When I was at the lowest point and in a very dark place, I wanted no human contact. This poem is hard-hitting but very real to my emotional state at the time.

Caged Beast

 

Thoughtful and logical mind now becomes primeval, unruly and savage

Anger and hatred in every thought come to the fore

Life you betrayed me, I don’t need you anymore

Don’t enter my domain, don’t stare at me, touch me or utter a word

Attack is on my mind, no warning will be given or heard

Pain is my mistress and silence my desire

My entire body and mind are on fire

 

Psychotic �" Anger, red mist

Neurotic �" Anxious, obsessive, black haze

Catatonic �" Silent, motionless, colourless and crazed

 

Doctors what do they know?

They google it, they read it, do they understand it?

I have to dam well live it

But through that pain is a new appreciation for the beautiful days, I would assume. I was in a similar position in one point of my life. I lost sight of all of my efforts and only perceived my failures. My soul was quite weary... Though, I realized that all of the bitter anger and disgust towards myself was natural and now... Well, I've been looking at these days with joy, knowing that pain is temporary if we only look beyond our present state. Thank you for sharing this!
