though I have always stayed away
I stored all of my pain
away.

Shelves upon shelves
endless rows
words whip at my ears
tears flood into my lungs
drowning me
tears that i was too weak to release.

Memories
clawing at my face
a thousand unsolved mysteries
screeching in pain
begging, pleading me to heal.

"Let me out
Let it out"
theyre on their knees
"forgive yourself
forgive me"

I am the vessel of my own purgatory
a living monument of self-defeat
and all that i hear are my own screams
begging to be justified

I am my own dungeon of torture. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 200 [topic] => 61 [informant] => Chanti [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )

good poem very vivid and filled with so much
pain. I enjoyed it and I hope that writing
enables you to get rid of what is tormenting
you. I really liked the ending by the way.

I truly hope freedom has released you from the self made confines of the past. A brilliant confession well penned.

Peace
