My Imaginary Prison

My Imaginary Prison

A Poem by Natalie Perez

This anxiety and depression got me feeling like a prisoner
I feel like I’m in Germany because my mind is acting like Hitler

No matter how hard I try to keep a smile on my face
I always end up coming back to my dark place

All the things that I once enjoyed doing
I no longer enjoy doing

I've lost the motivation to live a happy life
This constant feeling of misery is killing me like a knife

My soul has been dead for the past nine years
I can barely recall the times that I haven't shed a tear

I've grown to lack empathy
I've grown to careless about anything

I've become accustomed to isolating myself from the world
I've become blind to my self-worth
I’ve become accustomed to the emotional hurt

But I don't wanna suffer any longer
I wanna become stronger

So please God, hear me out
I’m on my knees crying out loud

Give me the opportunity to break out of this hell
Give me the opportunity to go back to my old happy self
