Trapped

by Kyleene Mitchell   Jun 1, 2018


There is a darkness seeping below the surface of my skin
Spreading like an unnatural mist
The fury gripping tightly
Refusing to relinquish its hold
An icy wind full of rage
Caressing the very depths of my soul
Something I cannot escape
My control is fading
Taking all of my power to bite back hateful screams
Such anger and misery
Threatening to explode, destroy
Crush all that lays in my path
This has pounced in me with the stealth of an unseen demon
And I am spinning, falling
So quickly I am bound to rip at the very seams
Forever the victim
Weak and senseless
Drowning in my own fear
Suffocating in this vicious depression
With no visible escape in sight
