Trapped in Jumbled Thoughts

I don't expect comments or votes on this poem. My thoughts are going everywhere right now so I just wrote. I didn't write to keep it flowing, I just wrote.

---

Jumbled thoughts and unspoken words
harbor in the deepest seas of my soul.
There are unseen monsters haunting
my darkest nights and brightest days
without a single pair of eyes seeing
nor a set of ears to hear my tale,
only my skin feels their eyes
watching my every move.
Even in an empty house I know
I'm never alone, never allowed to
simply live without their burden.
I grow use to their presence
living in my shadows and
whispering incomprehensible
words into my ears. But never to tell,
no I'm never to tell, I'm trapped.
Trapped in a burden so invisible
it's pure genius. A problem so hidden,
and so unapproved by society it
captures souls and ruins lives
in broad daylight without a witness
to be accounted for. If only this
burden could be set free. I have
the leash in my hand, but can't let go.
It's as ridiculous as a book that
can't be read. Why buy a book
in German if I don't understand it?
It makes the least sense and the most
sense at the same time. People just
don't understand. That's the true
heartbreak of it all...Knowing no one gets it but me.
