Bottled Up

Bottled up
I am fighting this battle all alone
Doctor prescribing me pills
To control the thoughts
I feel like less of me
Everyday
Fading 
Holding on to this bottle
Being bottled up
Withholding 
Me
From being
Free
I cry
No tears 
Flow out
I am out 
Of feelings
I hit the table
Now my hand hurts
A new pain
Pain I am getting used to
Like a pair of old jeans
My life does not fit
Trying old new shells
To disguise myself
From the man in the mirror
What a judgmental prick
