Some personal writing that I've been keeping in a poem diary of sorts. I thought I would share.

There are a million and one

Words in my head

But I've learnt to tune them out.

Only now there's a drowning silence,

And it's drowning me.

A thousand spiky needles

Attack my brain

But I've learnt to numb them away.

Only now I feel like a zombie,

I'm not really me.

Not one single emotion

Crosses my face

But I've learnt to still my mind.

Only now there's just me,

And I can't cry you see.
