Locked away behind bars of my own thinking,
I have become a ghost,
A shadow of my former self.
My feelings drowning out my reason,
Lost in unbridled waves of fear and self-doubt.
I sink into the pit of isolation,
That I dug out of significance.
Consequently creating my own devastation.
Blind to the light that shines before me,
I burrow down into the depths of my insanity.
Words of love and strength I refuse to hear,
As I continue to cling to my self loathing
The harder I grasp the more I feel alone and desolate,
Until this unreality I make real.
I have lost myself in this deception,
I am the creator of my prison.
