Living In The Mind's Cage

50.

My words somehow always scream some form of a goodbye,
Laced with double meanings, wondering if you'll ask why,

My songs always end with melancholy, that's smothered in regret,
They're mournfully sad, and with no escape found yet,

My smiles filled with an unreadable strain,
From risks not taken, I will remain the same,

My eyes, the pools in which I drown,
You say they're my best quality, but they only drag me down,

My nose, an odd shape that smells the deceit,
Meanwhile it's something that will stay pointed at my feet,

My hair, wild, it can't be tamed,
Frizzy curls, a dead color, my act is hard to contain,

My lips, so chapped, broken and split,
One smaller than the other, awkwardly smiles from what I did,

My eyebrows, raise in surprise, scrunch in confusion,
The motions show how my thoughts race & diffusion,

My skin, splotched and sunken below my eyes,
Paler now, since I never go outside,

My body, tired, and gaining new marks,
I'm slowly shutting down, no new remarks,

My mind, a crazy catastrophe, building in anticipation,
I look in the mirror, I form this creation,

My soul, used be to the brightest of rays,
It would dance all the time, happy with today's,

It's dark now, don't look too close,
It's been beaten down, I tried to find its ghost,

Hidden away, into something that could be me,
But I'm telling you now, don't believe what you see.

A/N: First update of the year, and I'm pretty happy with it.I know I still have no pictures for the other poems, but will go back and look at them to see if I even want pictures with them, I'm still debating on it. Anyways vote, comment what you think, still slow updates, I'm still unsure when I'll be able to update more, I have finals next week and then more testing, woooo. I hope you guys enjoy and have a great day.
Until then.
