Inside

I was talking of my inner battles
The festering scars
The screams within
The frantic search
The abject failure
The witch dance of hopelessness 

And then the cracks...
The leaks
The nervous attempts to disguise 
I fail again

They laugh
Make fun
I recede within deeper
And then again 
The screams
The search
The hopelessness 

The frenzy of witch dance
The cacophony of laughter 
They all sing and revel

And I...?

I slide deeper within

  1. The pain in this is searing! How terrible to not only experience such things but to have the sharing of them greeted with mockery. (I do hope this is fiction, not autobiography. But it feels real.)
