Best Poems Written by Priscilla Larson

Girl Interrupted

My mind is constantly spinning in a 
24 hour torture chamber, featuring 
unsettling displays of erratic 
behavior.  Death at this point would 
be a reward, please do me this one 
favor.

Alone again to no surprise, 
restricted to a code of silence.  
Harboring a lifetime of regrets and 
grudges, now confined within the 
dark red walls of violence.

Masking the pain, hiding the truth 
with a painted on face.  I've buried  
the secrets so deep in the ground, 
only time can erase.

Pushed into uncontrollable 
situations, my soul consumed with 
rage.  Tangled in a web spun just 
for me and sentenced to a life 
locked inside a cage.

I enjoy playing the villain, the only 
roll that comes naturally.  Pressing 
every button I can, sit back to enjoy 
the show, why won't anyone set me 
free.

Rock bottom has finally come, I am 
damaged beyond repair.  Trapped 
in my own personal dungeon, to try 
an escape I won't even dare.

A constant stampede of jumbled 
thoughts are pounding in my head.  
Tripping over the hurdles searching 
for the right words, to all that 
needs to be said.

I can't finish a thought before a 
new one.begins, they are literally 
colliding on the track.  I have lost so 
much of myself inches.ruble and 
debris, non of which I'll ever get 
back.

My.theory on life to most don't 
make sense, is.to emotionally cut cut 
off all ties.  Its to hard to function 
in a world full of weakness, that 
was built upon a foundation of lies.

Im barracaded behind a wall of 
steel, my flaws are protected and 
secure.  I've locked myself away 
from traffic and the noise, Im a 
lifer, no recovery, no cure.

Ambivalence, Am I sane? Am I 
crazy? Will I stay or will I go? The 
one answer I would like to know.
