“Trapped”

Trapped inside myself

Overwhelming currents

Of emotional distraught

Piercing thoughts 

I need a jagged knife 

Slice my way out of this

Tormented skin 

Struggling to free myself out of

This suffocating prison 

With every ounce of strength

I begin to push my way out

I get a glimpse of the light

It's now in my sight

I just can't seem to reach it 

I keep trying to escape my

Torturing thoughts 

This trapped terrifying hell is fucking real 

Begging for this torment to end

So the wounds can scab over and finally heal 

Can you hear me shout 

Will you cut me out 

Stretching these thin walls inside

My mind and body 

Dangerously lacking oxygen

Sights become blurred 

I'm going blind 

While losing my sanity

I'm gasping 

Im fighting to think and breathe freely...
