Words caught
in a spider web,
filtering what I really said.
Racing thoughts
invading my mind,
topics fast-forward
and then rewind.
voices conversate
over my every action,
inside I cower..
an immense reaction.
I lost my voice
inside of my throat,
I had to write
you a hopeless note.
Help me find
where my real self got lost,
buried beneathe broken promises
and covered in frost.
I want to thaw
my frozen heart out,
the ability to do that
is clouded with doubt..
The world keeps putting
dead weight on my back,
its hard to get out
of this hole that's covered in black.
The hole keeps getting deeper,
its sucking me in,
I need to claw and scratch
at these creatures living within.
A vampire lives inside me
leeching off of my hope,
sucking my happiness dry
and leaving me inable to cope.
Can somebody break past those barriers
with powerful words,
speaking with such force
that tramples big herds?
Maybe one day I can save
what is left inside,
only I can fix it
and take another with me
along for the ride....
