My Prison

Pretty self explanatory welcome to my prison

It hurts to breath
It hurts to live
My heart is giving
All it has to give
My tears are silent
stuck inside
I can't remember
the last time I cried
Why is life painful
it hurts too much
like water on a burn
excruciating to the touch
At night I silently
pray in my bed
that when morning approaches
I will soon be dead
This isn't the life
I want for myself
to others this earth
is my personal hell
I want to get better
I am sick of my mind
sick of the darkness
to which I am confined
Someone please help me
open the door
let in the light
allow me to soar
For while in this prison
I am confined
I experience daily beatings
from within my mind
It has to get better
I want no more beguile
I want no more false pretenses
when my lips form a smile
I am pounding on the door
as I scream and shout
Someone please help me
Please let me out
Unfortunately though
the joke is on me
no one can let me out
for I have the key
