I crumble inside myself
Everything, everything falls
Into my being
The water rises
and knives stab at me from every direction
My inner being freezes up
And then combusts
The pain is mirrored around
Against the shapes of my insides
There is no way out
But for the blood seeping from my thigh
The hurt, the rage, the nothingness
Slowly slithering out
But never enough
And so I remain caged
In my prison of flesh
Haunted by a darkness
I am unable to expel
A darkness
Internalized
