A Poem by Broken Soul
"

You know, words and stuff. The usual.

"

My mind is everything you’d find in a prison

In a cell screaming, starving but I’m living

Hoping to be found and maybe be set free

But still bound by the chains that relentlessly guide me

 

Cornered by the walls of uncertainty

No choice but to be unaccompanied

On a cot full of thoughts not feathers

Not sure if I can keep it all together

 

Thoughts in the mind and not a single word is spoken                         

Yet they all know that I’m the one who’s broken

I like to think that we all have little 'worlds' in our heads. In these worlds, some of us are battling demons and some of us are losing wars. Some of us are looking for escapes while some of us are slowly building walls. Some of us are seeking for love while some of us are learning to let go. But what all of us are trying to do is trying to contain the chaos in our little worlds believing that nobody would accept/ understand us if we let it show in the outside world.

THIS IS GREAT! I love it! Reminds me of my poem about the mind.

This is great, and the rhymes are perfect, perfectly timed too. Well tone, I'm thoroughly impressed.

P.S. that's hard to do.

I find it funny that often when we see a person's face in their avatar looking happy, yet there is always a sadness lurking behind the scenes. Your feelings are recognizable to me and I'll bet many others too.

You've written a fitting metaphor for a feeling that's often felt by many.

That:s what the mind can do to you. Cage you without a bar or chains in sight. You express the turmoil well here. First of your I have read.

The mind can feel like a prison when it keeps you locked in with unpleasant things that you want to set free.

” Thoughts in my mind and not a single word spoken.” Brilliant. This line resonates with me so much because of my anxiety and other issues. I have a hard time explaining this feeling to people. Added to my library.

That was my exact inspiration for this piece. Anxiety is such a mental prison at times.
