Sold Out

Did you feel it?
Was it painful?
Did you want to cry?
Did you feel all alone inside?
Did it make you want to die?

Did it hurt you?
Was something innocent lost?
Do you dream about the way it was?
And was it worth the cost

Did you notice?
Did you want to scream and shout
Was it like a part of you shriveled up?
When you gave up and sold out

Next

Fear overtakes me
I’m locked inside
Nowhere to run
And nowhere to hide
The pain rides on waves
Sickening my soul
I hate this frustration
This loss of control
The questions they come
But they’re always the same
What is this that’s happened?
And am I to blame
They give me no answers
They only medicate
Prescribe and hypothesize
In hopes to eradicate
Please give it a name
That helps it makes sense
Give me a reason
Let me prepare a defense

Facing inward
To avoid the outside
Mirrors I bypass
But from myself
I can’t hide

Trust in myself
Leaning on me
Would never have believed
How hard this could be
We think we know ourselves
From the image that looks back
Mirrors are jokers
And the images lack
The truth lies deeper
Where we all fear to go
Who we are  truly
Is born from the soul
