Trapped

The kiss of steel across the skin,
A calm you can't explain,
Everything just melts away,
A moment free of pain.

No hateful words or bitter blood,
Your mind somehow serene,
Like floating in a drug filled haze,
Reality's not seen.

Pain does not flow through your veins,
It's trapped inside your head,
Poking you and prodding you,
Until you wish for dead.

Dead emotions, vacant soul,
A heart that does not care,
Everyone you've come to hate,
Who does not feel despair.

Trapped inside their selfish world,
Lashing out in fear,
Trying to have everything,
Consuming all they near.

Here I sit, a darkened corner,
Hoping they don't see,
The hurt and pain they brought about,
That's slowly killing me.
