Someone Elses Body

Shortage of energy,

she feels fake, useless.

The gateway to peace is locked,

the key wont work.

Tears of emptiness stain her face.

She's trapped inside herself.

 

Maintaining balance is difficult.

Her body is stiff, doesn't feel like hers.

She feels like a mannequin,

unable to think clearly.

Glossy sad eyes, dark and gloomy stare into space.

Her sanity is no longer there.

She's lost inside herself.

 

Strings being pulled,

makes her feel like a marionette.

All sense of direction is gone.

Mood swings shadow her every move.

Her feet feel like miry clay,

firmly stuck in despair.

She's buried inside herself.

 

Everyday is like a masquerade party.

She wears a new mask daily,

no one notices her.

Cries of no return keep her company.

She feels her only alternative is death.

She's drowning inside herself.

 

She sits in her padded room,

strait jacket on.

There's no survival mode left.

 

She's trapped,

she's lost,

she's buried alive,

she's drowning.

 

She welcomes death.

The end......

If only she wasn't trapped.

This piece has a macabre beauty too it. The concept of accepting death over reality has a heavy emotional response, and makes a statement about the importance of Outward appearance too young adolescence

Very dark and beautiful. It shines with a dark light but it has great depth and i know how it feels to be depressed and crazed. Its horrifying, if you can actually think about it. Its hard to have a straight mind that doesn't try to end your life on a regular basis. I lived through it. I really like this.

Very dark and gloomy, painful and terrifying. The feeling of being trapped within with no hope of escape is a nightmare. I like this a lot, very well written/

[Loner]

I really liked this! My mother has M.S. and is completely bed bound, unable to move really - or do the simplest things for herself. THIS is what I imagine she'd say if she could. Thank you.
