POEM 9

I have no words to describe.
I don't know what I'm describing.
I smile when something's going wrong.
I can just feel it.

Sinister sneers and judgemental stares.
They turn their head round, laugh at me there.
I want to cry now.
No tears fall out.

Empty and dead, I would say my heart,
is closed off and hollow,
from all the things I felt.
Nothing to say, nothing to feel.

A thousand words unspoken,
a million stares diverted.
Physically fine but emotionally invalid.
Going insane, my memory is failing.

Cracks and cracks they crumble the way,
burning down, burning down my wall full of blades.
Killing me inside, taunting me outside.
The sad faces behind smiles are my fading facade.

A dark, dark place.
No walls, no windows.
No hand to hold,
no door to open.

I want to escape.
I want to run.
I need a way,
I have nothing to say.

No words to describe my sorrowful pain.
I can't just keep falling back in.
Holes upon holes in the grass I lie on.
Messy, the best understatement.

I...got lost.
