Trapped Poem by Cynthia DeMoines

A sea of emotions runs through my mind
my hands begin to shake
my anger is immortal
my sorrow, deep
why lead me on then leave me alone swallowed in darkness?
i can't find my way out
and as crimson tears soak mky shirt
i bite my toungue and feel the warm bittersweet liquid fill my mouth
collapsing to a mirrored floor i stare at my black-painted fingernails
so perfect in the still darkness of my mind
im trapped,
trapped within myself
