Im trying and Im struggling too

Im trying and Im struggling too

A Poem by AiH

I am Understated 
You are under wraps
with too many  fears of future
and too lost inside the past

I'm frozen
in fear
I've Lost 
all control 
my mind is 
a monster
my body
is dull

a figment of thought
a misguided shadow
living in a darkened sea-
flies among the gallows

I try
too hard
I let
them down
the sobs 
come softly
tears of
a clown

Tense inside my muscles
Rigid in my speech
cowardly little lion
a blood sucking leech


A forgotten self
or a broken reflection
it's silent forgiveness
a painful connection


I'm seething with rage
with foam in my mouth
I pull out all the loose thread
that's stuck in the couch
