Locked In My Mind

His cold dark hands grip around my heart Squeezing and squeezing, pulling me apart I spend every passing day in this cruel hell No longer a girl, just an empty shell. The whispers follow me everywhere I go Talking about things they don't even know The legends, the rumors, none of them are true Yet they seem to be real to only but a few. He takes their words and strikes me with them Treating me like im a broken, worthless gem He locks me in my mind and throws away the key Never again will I ever be free His sick, twisted grin lights up in the dark As this broken soul looses her spark So well done Anxiety, take a bow You have broken this girl Nobody can save her now.

What a powerful poem. Fabulous winner. So tragic that getting help seldom seems like an option.

Wow I hope not Andrea this is tragic, hopefully it's just a poem not your reality. Really well written strikes close to home for me, here's hoping no one else has to go through this!

Thanks, Gladly this hasn't happened to me but I have a close friend who struggles with anxiety and she inspired me to write it.
