Invisible Walls
Invisible Walls
Imprisoned within my mind, thoughts
locked within fear’s wall-less room
pressing against the darkened light
trembling within the confines of my self
I dine upon the carcasses of doubt
nibbling on the choices never made
questioning each morsel of sad feast
chambered in the dungeon of mistrust.
Trust a mirrored wall of insecurity
reflecting curdled truth of jaundiced eyes
self loathing’s cursed containment
bound by indecision’s chains
lashing out at rage’s anger
echoing within these unseen walls
lone prisoner in tattered garb
sole resident of wall-less doom.
