Digging My Own Grave

by Fighter (Ariane L.)   Oct 4, 2005


From the depth of myself, I've lost touch with reality.
Prisoner of words unsaid, I locked my feelings away.
Bottled up inside, the anger rages within, helpless.
Bottled up inside, the sadness rains upon me.

Chained by the memories of my past, my painful reality.
Haunted by the scenes I tried so hard to forget.
Haunted by the tears I've cried for so many years.
Covering the truth, masking my true identity.

Happy on the outside, enveloped in my lies.
Dying on the inside, sadness washes away my hope.
My silent screams unheard, suffocating me.
Chained by memories of the past, my painful reality.

Bleeding my feelings away, ink begins to fade.
Escaping my truth, hidden deep down under the surface.
Escaping my past, running from what was real.
Silent cries echo in the night, distant memory.

Buried, my identity forever hidden from their eyes.
Buried, my feelings kept on paper, covered by lies.
Deep within the surface, I dug my own grave.

*i have no idea how i came up with this... but wtv. hope you enjoyed :D

    Hello! :)

    I enjoyed this very much, m'dear. This was my favorite stanza:

    "Happy on the outside, enveloped in my lies.
    Dying on the inside, sadness washes away my hope.
    My silent screams unheard, suffocating me.
    Chained by memories of the past, my painful reality."

    That first line was especially effective. You become so immersed in your own lies that you wonder if what even you say is true. If that made any sense at all. :P

    Take care, and remain the fighter you are.
