Frozen
I'm frozen, paralyzed, silenced
I want to scream, I want to move, I want these chains to melt away
It feels like someone is holding their hand over my mouth, physically retraining me. Bounded by things I am too ashamed to speak of. I try to speak but nothing comes out.
Why? Why can't I just reach in and pull it out. Am I scared of myself or am I scared of what I'll remember... Though my nightmares remember. I cannot rest.
If I could just let go for a moment, but I'm suffocating my my own fears and I blame nobody but myself. Holding on so tightly to nothingness yet everything... I try to escape whilst minimizing my torment in fear of burdening the world with this chaos.
I am exhausted. Fighting a war within myself, whilst living a silent war against him. Forever constant forever near.

Thank you so much.... Poetry is a way for me to to express myself. I. Suppose a bit like Journaling. I struggle to express myself verbally so I have found writing helps. I'll post more. Much love
