| inner thoughts and feelings |

xliii. poetry

i'm sad
feeling numb, so empty
my mind fogged with ugly thoughts
emotions dark and scary
i'm constantly battling my mind for control
and never do i claim victory
i'm a slave to the darkness
the pain and heartache
too broken to be fixed
just sweep up the pieces of me and toss them in the trash
where i can hurt no one
and be alone
forever.
