Dreaming In Reverse {a collection of original poetry}

poem one || once again

i'm breaking.
cracking on the inside.
falling to pieces.
my heart is bursting.
the agony
i've withheld
is no longer being held
within the bindings
of my innermost thoughts.

the box
that was once locked,
concealed,
and placed
in the back of my mind
has burst wide open.
my demons
have escaped
and they're playing their evil games
inside my mind.
they're darkening my thoughts
and blackening my suffering soul
with their sinful laughter.

i'm scared.

but nobody else
seems to be able to see
the anguish
that my entire being is enduring.
why?
why can't they see
that i want their help?
that i need their help?
this affliction in my mind
is eating away at my existence.

someone.
anyone.
please.
hold me close.
wrap me in a warm embrace.
squeeze me so tight
that all of my shattered pieces
may stick back together
once again.
