The Within
In the depths of my heart
Hidden beyond the brokenness of my soul
Resides my fragile trampled spirit
Clinging to my last strand of control
I can feel the lifeforce decaying slowly
As the creeping numbness within spreads
And incognitive random thoughts
Do a tap dance in my head.
Ive silently tucked my prayers away
Deep in the unanswered files
Finally realizing no savior is coming
I feel i knew all the while.
People see me from a distance
But dont truly see the turmoil in me
How im barely living out my existance
Locked inside the misery of me.
So its behind fences so very high
I choose to keep the rest of the world out
Born to die alone without love
And then denied heaven no doubt.
